King James Version
"And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:"
— 1 Corinthians 4:12, King James Version
“and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; ”
“We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.”
“We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure,”
“And we labour, working with our own hands. We are reviled: and we bless. We are persecuted: and we suffer it.”
“And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;”
“And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:”
For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
