1 Corinthians 4:9-13 For I think God has placed us, the apostles, last as if we were condemned to death: for we have become a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ For I think God has placed us, the apostles, last as if we were condemned to death: for we have become a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. ¹⁰ We are fools for ChristÆs sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are praised, but we are despised. ¹¹ Even to this very hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked and mistreated and have no permanent home; ¹² And labor, working with our own hands: being cursed we bless, being persecuted, we endure it; ¹³ Being reviled, we intreat;: we are looked upon as the refuse of the world, and we are the revilement of every man to this day.
