1 Corinthians 4:12-14
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
12 And we still toil unto weariness [for our living], working hard with our own hands. When men revile us [[a]wound us with an accursed sting], we bless them. When we are persecuted, we take it patiently and endure it.
13 When we are slandered and defamed, we [try to] answer softly and bring comfort. We have been made and are now the rubbish and filth of the world [the offscouring of all things, the scum of the earth].
14 I do not write this to shame you, but to warn and counsel you as my beloved children.
