King James Version (KJV)

1 Corinthians 4:13

“Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, [and are] the offscouring of all things unto this day.”

Verse in context — 1 Corinthians 4

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, [and are] the offscouring of all things unto this day.

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you].

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
