1 Corinthians 4:10-13

Moffatt(i) 10 We, for Christ's sake, are 'fools'; you in Christ are sensible. We are weak, you are strong; you are honoured, we are in disrepute. 11 To this very hour we hunger and thirst, we are ill-clad and knocked about, we are waifs, 12 we work hard for our living; when reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we put up with it; 13 when defamed, we try to conciliate. To this hour we are treated as the scum of the earth, the very refuse of the world!
