The Suffering of the Apostles
1 Corinthians 4:8-13
8
Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have come to reign without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9
For, 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, both to angels and men.
10
We 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 dishonor.
11
Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;
12
and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
13
being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.
