1 Corinthians 4:12-14
Authorized (King James) Version
12 and labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 13 being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

1 Corinthians 4:12-14
New International Version
12 We work hard with our own hands.(A) When we are cursed, we bless;(B) when we are persecuted,(C) we endure it; 13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage(D) of the world—right up to this moment.
Paul’s Appeal and Warning
14 I am writing this not to shame you(E) but to warn you as my dear children.(F)
