1 Corinthians 4
8 Ref Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have come to reign without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 Ref For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, both to angels and men.
10 Ref We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor.
11 Ref Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;
12 Ref and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
13 Ref being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.
14 Ref I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
15 Ref For though ye have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet `have ye' not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the gospel.
16 Ref I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.
17 Ref For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.
18 Ref Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
