“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. ”
“We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.”
“We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!”
“We are fools for Christs sake, but you are wise in Christ: we are weak, but you are strong: you are honourable, but we without honour.”

For what distinguishes you from another? And what do you have that you have not received? But if you have received it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it?
So, now you have been filled, and now you have been made wealthy, as if to reign without us? But I wish that you would reign, so that we, too, might reign with you!
For I think that God has presented us as the last Apostles, as those destined for death. For we have been made into a spectacle for the world, and for Angels, and for men.
So we are fools because of Christ, but you are discerning in Christ? We are weak, but you are strong? You are noble, but we are ignoble?
Even to this very hour, we hunger and thirst, and we are naked and repeatedly beaten, and we are unsteady.
And we labor, working with our own hands. We are slandered, and so we bless. We suffer and endure persecution.
We are cursed, and so we pray. We have become like the refuse of this world, like the reside of everything, even until now.
