1 Corinthians 4:11-13

New English Translation

¹¹ To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads. ¹² We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure, ¹³ when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world’s dirt and scum, even now.
