1 Corinthians
Chapters 4:8-14
Revised Version 1885
8Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have reigned without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
10We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonour.
11Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;
12and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
13being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.
14I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
