NASB
"when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now."
— 1 Corinthians 4:13, NASB
“Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.”
“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 you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor.
To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;
and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;
when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.
I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.
