1 Corinthians 4:12-14

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹² we labor, working^(A) with our own hands.^(B) When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; ¹³ when we are slandered, we respond graciously. Even now, we are like the world’s garbage, like the dirt everyone scrapes off their sandals.^(C)

Paul’s Fatherly Care

¹⁴ I’m not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my dear children.^(D)
