King James Version
"Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day."
— 1 Corinthians 4:13, King James Version
“being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now. ”
“Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.”
“when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world’s dirt and scum, even now.”
“We are blasphemed: and we entreat. We are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all, even until now.”
“When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.”
“Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.”
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.
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
