1 Corinthians 4:12 in context

  1. 10We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
  2. 11Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
  3. 12We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
  4. 13Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
  5. 14I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
