1 Corinthians 4:12 in Context — 1 Corinthians 4

10 Nous sommes fous à cause de Christ; mais vous, vous êtes sages en Christ; nous sommes faibles, mais vous êtes forts. Vous êtes honorés, et nous sommes méprisés!

11 Jusqu’à cette heure, nous souffrons la faim, la soif, la nudité; nous sommes maltraités, errants çà et là;

12 nous nous fatiguons à travailler de nos propres mains; injuriés, nous bénissons; persécutés, nous supportons;

13 calomniés, nous parlons avec bonté; nous sommes devenus comme les balayures du monde, le rebut de tous, jusqu’à maintenant.

14 Ce n’est pas pour vous faire honte que j’écris ces choses; mais je vous avertis comme mes enfants bien-aimés.
