1 Corinthians 4:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ You already have all you want! You have already become rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you really were kings so that we could be kings with you! ⁹ For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display in last place, like men condemned to death. We have become a spectacle for the world, for angels, and for people to stare at. ¹⁰ We are fools for the Messiah’s^[a] sake, but you are wise in the Messiah.^[b] We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.
