1 Corinthians 4:12-14

World English Bible

¹² We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure. ¹³ Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

¹⁴ I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
