(E)We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. 11 To the present hour (F)we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and (G)buffeted and (H)homeless, 12 and we (I)labor, working with our own hands. (J)When reviled, we bless; (K)when persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we entreat. (L)We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, (M)the refuse of all things.

We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage(J) of the world—right up to this moment.
