1 Corinthians 4:8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
Paul here is somewhat reprimanding the Corinthians here because they are making it seem that they are better than anyone else. He goes on to say that those who help spread the word of God seem to be put at the bottom of the totem pole because they are ridiculed, spit on, beaten and imprisoned for preaching the Gospel. Finally Paul is saying we should be willing to be fools if it gives us a chance to spread the word of God. Just as in today people know it is the right thing to do to come to Christ but they still look down on most of the people who really want to make them understand what
Christ has for them.
