"Even to this very hour, we hunger and thirst, and we are naked and repeatedly beaten, and we are unsteady. "
— 1 Corinthians 4:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;”
“Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place; ”
“Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.”
“To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.”
“Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are buffeted and have no fixed abode.”
“Even to this hour we are without food, drink, and clothing, we are given blows and have no certain resting-place;”
“Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;”
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.
I am not writing these things in order to confound you, but in order to admonish you, as my dearest sons.
