1 Corinthians 4:7-9
New Matthew Bible
7 For who prefers you? What do you have that was not given to you? If you have received it, why do you glory as though you had not received it? 8 Now you are full, now you are made rich; you reign as kings without us. And I would to God you did reign, so that we might reign with you.
9 It seems to me that God has set forth us who are apostles as the lowest of all – men appointed to death, as it were. For we are a gazing stock to the world, and to the angels, and to men.

1 Corinthians 4:7-9
New International Version
7 For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive?(A) And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich!(B) 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(C) in the arena. We have been made a spectacle(D) to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings.
