1 Corinthians 4:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ But it seems to me that God has put us apostles ·in last place [or on display at the end of the procession], like those sentenced to die [^Cthe image is of prisoners of war being led through the city in disgrace, condemned to die in the arena]. We are like a ·show [spectacle; display] for the whole world to see—angels and people. ¹⁰ We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are very wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You receive honor, but we are ·shamed [disgraced; dishonored]. ¹¹ Even ·to this very hour [or now] we do not have enough to eat or drink or to wear. We are often beaten, and we have no homes in which to live.
