9For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, both to angels and men.

10We are fools for Christ`s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor.

11Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;

12and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

13being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.

14I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

15For though ye have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the gospel.
