Haweis(i)
8 Now ye are full, now ye have grown rich, ye have reigned without us: and I wish indeed that you may reign, that we also might reign together with you.
9 For I think that God hath exposed us his apostles the last as devoted unto death. For we have been made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.
10 We are counted fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are mighty; ye are honourable persons, but we despised.
11 For even to this present hour we undergo hunger and thirst and nakedness, and are buffeted about, and have no settled abode;
12 and work hard, labouring with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it;
13 being injuriously spoken of, we entreat; we are made as the ordures of the world, as the sweepings of all things unto this day.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I admonish you.
15 For though ye may have ten thousand teachers in Christ, yet not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus through the Gospel I have begotten you.
16 Now I conjure you, be followers of me.
17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my son beloved and faithful in Christ, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ Jesus, as I teach every where in every church.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not really come to you.
