1 Corinthians 4:12-14

New American Standard Bible

¹² and we labor, ^(A)working with our own hands; when we are ^(B)verbally abused, we bless; when we are ^(C)persecuted, we endure it; ¹³ when we are slandered, we ^[a]reply as friends; we have ^(D)become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

¹⁴ I do not write these things to ^(E)shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved ^(F)children.
