9For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, vlike men sentenced to death, because we whave become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. 10 xWe are fools for Christ’s sake, but yyou are wise in Christ. zWe are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. 11To the present hour aawe hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and abbuffeted and achomeless, 12and we adlabor, working with our own hands. aeWhen reviled, we bless; afwhen persecuted, we endure; 13when slandered, we entreat. agWe have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, ahthe refuse of all things.
