10 We are afools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! bWe are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!
11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.
12 aAnd we labor, working with our own hands. bBeing reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
13 being defamed, we1 entreat. aWe have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.
Paul’s Paternal Care
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but aas my beloved children I warn you.
15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for ain Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
