1 Corinthiens 4:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 4:12

And labour, working with our own hands
As the apostle did at Corinth, ( Acts 18:3 ) and elsewhere; partly to minister to his own necessities, and those of others; and partly that he might not be burdensome to the churches; and also to set an example of diligence and industry to others; though he had a right and power to claim a maintenance of those to whom he ministered.

Being reviled, we bless;
as Christ commanded, ( Matthew 5:44 ) and the apostle himself directed and exhorted to, ( Romans 12:14 )

being persecuted, we suffer it;
that is, patiently; neither resisting our persecutors, nor murmuring and repining at our unhappy circumstances; but taking all in good part, as what is the will of God, and will make for his glory.

1 Corinthiens 4:12 In-Context

10 Nous sommes fous Ă  cause de Christ, mais vous, vous ĂȘtes sages en Christ; nous sommes faibles mais vous ĂȘtes forts; vous ĂȘtes dans l'honneur, mais nous sommes dans le mĂ©pris.
11 Jusqu'à présent nous souffrons la faim et la soif, et nous sommes nus; on nous frappe au visage, et nous sommes errants çà et là;
12 Nous nous fatiguons en travaillant de nos propres mains; outragés, nous bénissons; persécutés, nous le souffrons;
13 Calomniés, nous prions; nous sommes jusqu'à présent comme les balayures du monde, le rebut de tous.
14 Je n'écris point ces choses pour vous faire honte; mais je vous avertis comme mes chers enfants.
