1 Corinthians 4:8-13

« 1 Cor 31 Cor 41 Cor 5 »

8 You are ^aalready filled, you have already become rich, you have ruled without us—and how I wish that you had ruled indeed so that we also might rule with you. 9 For, I think that God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men ^acondemned to death, because we ^bhave become a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. 10 We are ^afools for the sake of Christ, but ^byou are prudent in Christ! ^cWe are weak, but you are strong! You are glorious, but we are without honor! 11 To this present hour we ^ahunger and thirst, and are poorly clothed, and roughly treated, and homeless; 12 and we labor, ^aworking with our own hands; when we are ^breviled, we bless; when we are ^cpersecuted, we endure; 13 when we are slandered, we try to plead; we have ^abecome as the scum of the world, the grime of all things, even until now.

Acts 26:29

29 And Paul said, “I would pray to God, that whether ¹in a short or long time, not only you, but also all who hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for these ^achains.”
