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
Revised Standard Version
9 For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men. 10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. 11 To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are ill-clad and buffeted and homeless, 12 and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the refuse of the world, the offscouring of all things.
