For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, as though sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to humans.(A) 10 We are fools for the sake of Christ, but you are sensible people in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.(B) 11 To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are naked and beaten and homeless,(C) 12 and we grow weary from the work of our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;(D) 13 when slandered, we speak kindly. We have become like the rubbish of the world, the dregs of all things, to this very day.
