1 Corinthians 4:11

The Message: The Bible in Contemporary LanguageOther versions

English

Much of the time we don’t have enough to eat, we wear patched and threadbare clothes, we get doors slammed in our faces,

To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless,

To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.

Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless;

Even now we go hungry and thirsty, and we don’t have enough clothes to keep warm. We are often beaten and have no home.

Until the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty and poorly clothed and roughly treated and homeless,

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
