Kehillah in Corinth I 4:12-14

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹² And we have parnasah, toiling with our own hands; being reviled, we make a bracha; being persecuted, we endure it:

¹³ Being defamed by loshon hora, we conciliate. We have become what the earth wants swept out the door, something considered trash the Olam Hazeh wants removed. [YIRMEYAH 20:18; EKHAH 3:45]

¹⁴ The purpose of this iggeret is not to bring you under bushah (shame). I write these things as admonishing my beloved yeladim.
