1 Corinthians 4:12-14
New Matthew Bible
12 and labour, working with our own hands. We are reviled, and yet we bless. We are persecuted, and suffer it. 13 We are ill spoken of, and we pray. We are made as if the refuse of the world, the off-scouring of all things, even to this time.
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children 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)
