8

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!

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?

11

12

And we labor, working with our own hands. We are slandered, and so we bless. We suffer and endure persecution.

I am not writing these things in order to confound you, but in order to admonish you, as my dearest sons.
