1 Corintios 4:11

11 Hasta el momento pasamos hambre, tenemos sed, nos falta ropa, se nos maltrata, no tenemos dónde vivir.

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 Por lo que veo, a nosotros los apóstoles Dios nos ha hecho desfilar en el último lugar, como a los sentenciados a muerte. Hemos llegado a ser un espectáculo para todo el universo, tanto para los ángeles como para los hombres.

10 ¡Por causa de Cristo, nosotros somos los ignorantes; ustedes, en Cristo, son los inteligentes! ¡Los débiles somos nosotros; los fuertes son ustedes! ¡A ustedes se les estima; a nosotros se nos desprecia!

11 Hasta el momento pasamos hambre, tenemos sed, nos falta ropa, se nos maltrata, no tenemos dónde vivir.

12 Con estas manos nos matamos trabajando. Si nos maldicen, bendecimos; si nos persiguen, lo soportamos;

13 si nos calumnian, los tratamos con gentileza. Se nos considera la escoria de la tierra, la basura del mundo, y así hasta el día de hoy.
