1 Corinthians 4:9 in Context — 1 Corinthians 4

7 Pois quem te faz diferentemente superior? E o que tens tu, que não tenhas recebido? E se o recebeste, por que te orgulhas, como se não o tivesse recebido?

8 Vós já estais satisfeitos, já estais ricos, e reinastes sem nós; e bom seria se vós reinásseis, para que também nós reinássemos convosco.

9 Pois acho que Deus colocou a nós, os apóstolos, por último, como sentenciados à morte; pois somos como espetáculo ao mundo, tanto aos anjos como aos seres humanos.

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.
