9 For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men (A)condemned to death; because we (B)have become a spectacle to the world, (a)both to angels and to men. 10 We are (C)fools for Christ’s sake, but (D)you are prudent in Christ; (E)we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor. 11 To this present hour we are both (F)hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless; 12 and we toil, (G)working with our own hands; when we are (H)reviled, we bless; when we are (I)persecuted, we endure; 13 when we are slandered, we try to (b)conciliate; we have (J)become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.
