10We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.
11To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
12We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
13when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
— 1 Corinthians 4:10-13
