You are honored, but we are dishonored! 11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, and we are homeless. 12 We work hard with our own hands. When we are insulted, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it. 13 When we are slandered, we respond gently. We have become like the scum of the earth, the refuse of all, even until now.
