10. We are fools for Messiah’s sake, but you are wise in Messiah. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honour, but we have dishonour.
11. Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
12. We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
13. Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
14. I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
15. For though you have ten thousand tutors in Messiah, you don’t have many fathers. For in Messiah Yeshua, I became your father through the Good News.
16. I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
