12 and we (A)labor, working with our own hands. (B)When reviled, we bless; (C)when persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we entreat. (D)We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, (E)the refuse of all things.
14 I do not write these things (F)to make you ashamed, but to admonish you (G)as my beloved children.

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.
