11. Until the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are scantily clad, and beaten, and homeless,
12. and labour, working with our own hands. Being cursed, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;
13. being insulted, we help. We have been made as the filth of the world – dirt wiped off by all until now.
14. I do not write this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.
