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.

New International Version
1 Corinthians 4:9-13
New International Version
9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die(A) in the arena. We have been made a spectacle(B) to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. 10 We are fools for Christ,(C) but you are so wise in Christ!(D) We are weak, but you are strong!(E) You are honored, we are dishonored! 11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.(F) 12 We work hard with our own hands.(G) When we are cursed, we bless;(H) when we are persecuted,(I) we endure it; 13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage(J) of the world—right up to this moment.

39 And (A)those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, (B)“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! (C)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the [a]scribes and elders, said, 42 “He (D)saved others; Himself He cannot save. [b]If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe [c]Him. 43 (E)He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”
44 (F)Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.

39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(A) 40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(B) save yourself!(C) Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”(D) 41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 42 “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel!(E) Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe(F) in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him(G) now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
