1 Corinthians 4:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² We wear ourselves out from working with our own hands. When insulted, we bless. When persecuted, we endure. ¹³ When slandered, we answer with kind words. Even now we have become the filth of the world, the scum of the universe.

Fatherly Advice

¹⁴ I’m not writing this to make you feel ashamed, but to warn you as my dear children.
