1 Corinthians 4:9-13
Legacy Standard Bible
9 For, I think that God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men (A)condemned to death, because we (B)have become a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. 10 We are (C)fools for the sake of Christ, but (D)you are prudent in Christ! (E)We are weak, but you are strong! You are glorious, but we are without honor! 11 To this present hour we (F)hunger and thirst, and are poorly clothed, and roughly treated, and homeless; 12 and we labor, (G)working with our own hands; when we are (H)reviled, we bless; when we are (I)persecuted, we endure; 13 when we are slandered, we try to plead; we have (J)become as the scum of the world, the grime of all things, even until now.

1 Corinthians 4:9-13
International Standard Version
9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display in last place, like men condemned to death. We have become a spectacle for the world, for angels, and for people to stare at. 10 We are fools for the Messiah’s[a] sake, but you are wise in the Messiah.[b] We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored. 11 We are hungry, thirsty, dressed in rags, brutally treated, and homeless, right up to the present. 12 We wear ourselves out from working with our own hands. When insulted, we bless. When persecuted, we endure. 13 When slandered, we answer with kind words. Even now we have become the filth of the world, the scum of the universe.
