1 Corinthians 4:7-9

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁷ If you are better, who made you that way? Everything you have was given to you. So then, why are you proud of it? Was it not given to you?

⁸ So you think you now have everything you need and are rich! You think you are kings and do not need us! I wish that you really were kings. Then we would be kings along with you.

⁹ It seems to me that God has put us apostles at the end of the line. We are like men who are to be put to death. The whole world, angels and men, look at us.
