I Corinthians 4:9 God hath set forth us the apostles last. In contrast with them, the state of the apostles is given. The figure is drawn from the Roman amphitheater. At "last", near the close of the games, gladiators doomed to die were led forth and shown to the spectators, then stripped of all armor, and exposed naked to the attack of others. We are made a spectacle unto the world. So the apostles were doomed to reproach, suffering and to death.
