1 Corinthians 4:8-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
For God Has Displayed Us Apostles As Last And Lowest In This World
8 You are already satisfied[a]! You already became-rich! You became-kings[b] without us! And o-that indeed you became-kings, in order that we also might reign with you. 9 For I think God displayed[c] us the apostles as last[d], like ones condemned-to-death— because we were-made[e] a spectacle[f] to the world, both to angels and to people. 10 We are foolish ones for the sake of Christ, but you are wise ones in Christ. We are weak ones, but you are strong ones. You are distinguished ones, but we are dishonored ones.

New International Version
8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich!(A) You have begun to reign—and that without us! How I wish that you really had begun to reign so that we also might reign with you! 9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die(B) in the arena. We have been made a spectacle(C) to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. 10 We are fools for Christ,(D) but you are so wise in Christ!(E) We are weak, but you are strong!(F) You are honored, we are dishonored!
