(9b) ...apostles, like people condemned to die in public as a spectacle for the whole world of angels and of human beings. (10) For Christ's sake we are fools... we are weak... we are despised... (11) To this very moment we go hungry and thirsty; we are clothed in rags; we are beaten; we wander from place to place; (12) we wear ourselves out with hard work. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure; (13) when we are insulted, we answer back with kind words. We are no more than this world's garbage; we are the scum of the earth to this very moment!
-- From 1 Corinthians 4:9-13 (GNT)
In Faith! By Faith! (Hebrews 11)

In this long comparison and contrast Paul is showing the Corinthians that their exalted position in which they were judging him and others and exalting themselves and their favorite leaders was completely contrary to the spirit of Christ
I want to be totally Holy Spirit Reliant.
