“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.”
“Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are buffeted and have no fixed abode.”

Already you are satisfied! Already you are rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you had become kings so that we could reign with you!
For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.
We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!
To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.
We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure,
when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world’s dirt and scum, even now.
A Father’s Warning I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.
