1 Corinthians 4:9-13 For I think that God has set forth us, the Apostles, last, as persons appointed to death; because we are made a spectacle to the world, even to angels, and to men.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ For I think that God has set forth us, the Apostles, last, as persons appointed to death; because we are made a spectacle to the world, even to angels, and to men. ¹⁰ We are fools on account of Christ; but you are wise in Christ: we are weak, but you are strong: you are honored, but we are despised. ¹¹ To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place, ¹² and labor, working with our own hands: when reviled, we bless: when persecuted, we bear: ¹³ when defamed, we beseech: when we are become as the purgations of the world, the filth of all things until now.
