CLV(i)
6 Now these things, brethren, I transfer in a figure to myself and Apollos because of you, that in us you may be learning not to be disposed above what is written, that you may not be puffed up, one over the one, against the other."
7 For who is making you to discriminate? Now what have you which you did not obtain? Now if you obtained it also, why are you boasting as though not obtaining?
8 Already are you sated, already are you rich, apart from us you reign. And would that you surely reign, that we should be reigning together with you!"
9 For I suppose that God demonstrates with us, the last apostles, as death-doomed, for we became a theater to the world and to messengers and to men."
10 We are stupid because of Christ, yet you are prudent in Christ. We are weak, yet you are strong. You are glorious, yet we are dishonored."
11 Until the present hour we are hungering also and thirsting, and are naked and are buffeted and unsettled and toiling, working with our own hands."
12 Being reviled, we are blessing; being persecuted, we are bearing with it;"
13 being calumniated, we are entreating. As the offscourings of the world we became, the scum of all things, hitherto."
