1 Corinthians 4:9-13 For it seems as if God had exhibited us, the apostles, last on the stage as devoted to death since we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ For it seems as if God had exhibited us, the apostles, last on the stage as devoted to death since we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men. ¹⁰ We are fools on the account of Christ; but you are prudent in Christ: We are weak; but you are strong: you are honourable; but we are despised: ¹¹ Even at this very moment we are hungry and thirsty and naked and buffeted, and are wandering about and weary, ¹² working with our own hands. Being reviled we give good words; being persecuted we suffer patiently; ¹³ being defamed we exhort. We are become as it were the expiatory sacrifices of the world; the refuse of all things until now.
