14 If you are [a]reproached for the name of Christ, (A)blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. [b]On their part He is blasphemed, (B)but on your part He is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a [c]busybody in other people’s matters. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this [d]matter.

1 Corinthians 4:9-13
New King James Version
9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a (A)spectacle [a]to the world, both to angels and to men. 10 We are (B)fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! (C)We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! 11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. 12 (D)And we labor, working with our own hands. (E)Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; 13 being defamed, we [b]entreat. (F)We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
(A)In pain you shall bring forth children;
(B)Your desire shall be [a]for your husband,
And he shall (C)rule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, (D)“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree (E)of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
(F)“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
(G)In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall [b]bring forth for you,
And (H)you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 (I)In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
(J)For dust you are,
And (K)to dust you shall return.”
