1 Corinthians 4:12-14

New King James Version

^12 (A)And we labor, working with our own hands. ^(B)Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; ¹³ being defamed, we ^[a]entreat. ^(C)We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

Paul’s Paternal Care

¹⁴ I do not write these things to shame you, but ^(D)as my beloved children I warn you.
