1 Corinthians 4:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ To this very hour, we endure hunger and thirst. We are poorly clad and beaten and homeless, ¹² and we exhaust ourselves working with our hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we suffer persecution, we endure it; ¹³ when we are slandered, we respond gently. We are regarded as the rubbish of the world, the dregs of humanity, to this very day.
