7. For who makes thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? but if also thou hast received, why boastest thou as not receiving?
8. Already ye are filled; already ye have been enriched; ye have reigned without us; and I would that ye reigned, that we also might reign with you.
9. For I think that God has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
10. We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye prudent in Christ: we weak, but ye strong: ye glorious, but we in dishonour.
11. To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are in nakedness, and buffeted, and wander without a home,
12. and labour, working with our own hands. Railed at, we bless; persecuted, we suffer it;
13. insulted, we entreat: we are become as the offscouring of the world, the refuse of all, until now.
