New Revised Standard NRS
New International Version NIV
10 We are fools for the sake of Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute.
10
We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!
11 To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed and beaten and homeless,
11
To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
12 and we grow weary from the work of our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;
12
We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
13 when slandered, we speak kindly. We have become like the rubbish of the world, the dregs of all things, to this very day.
13
when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world—right up to this moment.
