12We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
12We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like men condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men.

4:12and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
4:12And labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it;
4:12We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
4:12and labour, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;
4:12And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
