11 Hasta esta hora hambrientos, y tenemos sed, y estamos mal vestidos, y somos heridos de golpes, y andamos vagabundos

1 Corintios 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 4:11

Even unto this present hour
What is about to be related was not what befell the apostles now and then, and a great while ago; but what for a considerable time, and unto the present time, was more or less the common constant series and course of life they were inured to:

we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked;
wanted the common necessaries of life, food to eat, and raiment to put on, and gold and silver to purchase any with; which might be, when, as it was sometimes their case, they were in desert places, or on the seas; or when they fell among thieves; or had given all away, as they sometimes did, for the relief of others; or when they were not, as sometimes, taken notice of, and provided for, where they ministered, as they ought to have been.

And are buffeted;
not only by Satan, as the apostle was, but by men; scourged, whipped, and beaten by them; scourged in the synagogues by the Jews with forty stripes save one; and beaten with rods by the Romans, and other Gentiles.

And have no certain dwelling place;
were in an unsettled state, always moving from one place to another, and had no place they could call their own; like their Lord and master, who had not where to lay his head; and like some of the Old Testament saints, who wandered about in sheep skins and goat skins, in deserts, and in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

1 Corintios 4:11 In-Context

9 Porque a lo que pienso, Dios nos ha mostrado a nosotros, los apóstoles, como los postreros, como a sentenciados a muerte; porque somos hechos espectáculo al mundo, y a los ángeles, y a los hombres

10 Nosotros locos por amor del Cristo, y vosotros prudentes en el Cristo; nosotros flacos, y vosotros fuertes; vosotros nobles, y nosotros viles

11 Hasta esta hora hambrientos, y tenemos sed, y estamos mal vestidos, y somos heridos de golpes, y andamos vagabundos

12 y trabajamos, obrando con nuestras manos; nos maldicen, y bendecimos; padecemos persecución, y sufrimos

13 somos blasfemados, y rogamos; hemos venido a ser como la basura de este mundo, inmundicias de todos hasta ahora
