1Cor 4:7-13 | ESV | STEP | For who sees anything different in you ? What do you have that you did not receive ? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

1 Corinthians 4:7-13

7 For who sees anything different in you? ^aWhat do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you! 9 For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, ^blike men sentenced to death, because we ^chave become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. 10 ^dWe are fools for Christ’s sake, but ^eyou are wise in Christ. ^fWe are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. 11 To the present hour ^gwe hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and ^hbuffeted and ⁱhomeless, 12 and we ^jlabor, working with our own hands. ^kWhen reviled, we bless; ^lwhen persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we entreat. ^mWe have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, ⁿthe refuse of all things.
