1 Corintios 4:11

11 Incluso ahora mismo pasamos hambre y tenemos sed y nos falta ropa para abrigarnos. A menudo somos golpeados y no tenemos casa.

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 A veces pienso que a nosotros, los apóstoles, Dios nos puso en exhibición como prisioneros de guerra al final del desfile del vencedor, condenados a muerte. Nos hemos convertido en un espectáculo para el mundo entero, tanto para la gente como para los ángeles.

10 Nuestra entrega a Cristo nos hace parecer tontos, en cambio, ¡ustedes afirman ser tan sabios en Cristo! Nosotros somos débiles, ¡pero ustedes son tan poderosos! A ustedes los estiman, ¡a nosotros nos ridiculizan!

11 Incluso ahora mismo pasamos hambre y tenemos sed y nos falta ropa para abrigarnos. A menudo somos golpeados y no tenemos casa.

12 Nos cansamos trabajando con nuestras manos para ganarnos la vida. Bendecimos a los que nos maldicen. Somos pacientes con los que nos maltratan.

13 Respondemos con gentileza cuando dicen cosas malas de nosotros. Aun así se nos trata como la basura del mundo, como el desperdicio de todos, hasta este preciso momento.
