³³ In part, in being attacked by angry words and cruel acts, before the eyes of everyone, and in part, in being united with those who were attacked in this way.

⁹ For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.

¹⁴ For you, my brothers, took as your examples the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because you underwent the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Jews;

¹⁴ But you did well to have care for me in my need.

¹³ Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

³⁶ And others were tested by being laughed at or by blows, and even with chains and prisons:

²⁶ Judging a part in the shame of Christ to be better than all the wealth of Egypt; for he was looking forward to his reward.

¹⁶ May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus because he frequently gave me help, and had no feeling of shame because I was in chains;

¹⁷ But when he was in Rome, he went in search of me everywhere, and came to me

¹⁸ (May he have the Lord's mercy in that day); and of all he did for me at Ephesus you have full knowledge.

⁸ Have no feeling of shame, then, for the witness of our Lord or for me, his prisoner: but undergo all things for the good news in the measure of the power of God;

⁷ So it is right for me to take thought for you all in this way, because I have you in my heart; for in my chains, and in my arguments before the judges in support of the good news, making clear that it is true, you all have your part with me in grace.

¹⁰ So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.

⁸ Give ear now, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your friends who are seated before you; for these are men who are a sign: for see, I will let my servant the Branch be seen.

⁶ I will make you completely disgusting and full of shame, and will put you up to be looked at by all.

⁷ Give ear to me, you who have knowledge of righteousness, in whose heart is my law; have no fear of the evil words of men, and give no thought to their curses.

⁵¹ The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.

¹² And give punishment seven times over into the breast of our neighbours for the bitter words which they have said against you, O Lord.

²² Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.

⁷ I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.

⁹ I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.
