1 Corinthians 4:12 in Context — 1 Corinthians 4

10 Nós [somos] loucos por causa de Cristo, mas vós sábios em Cristo; nós fracos, mas vós fortes; vós ilustres, mas nós desonrados.

11 Até esta presente hora sofremos fome e sede, e estamos nus, e somos golpeados, e não temos morada certa.

12 E ficamos exaustos, trabalhando com as nossas próprias mãos; somos insultados, e bendizemos; somos perseguidos, e nós suportamos.

13 Somos blasfemados, e respondemos humildemente; somos feitos como a escória do mundo, e como o lixo de todos, até agora.

14 Não escrevo estas coisas para vos envergonhar; mas sim, para [vos] advertir como a meus amados filhos.
