10. We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!
11. Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless;
12. we labor, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
13. when we are slandered, we respond graciously. Even now, we are like the world’s garbage, like the dirt everyone scrapes off their sandals.
