You are right about the apostles being hungry, thirsty, etc. But in verse 10 he draws contrasts with foolishness/wisdom, weak/strong & dishonor/honor. I'd rather be a "fool for Christ" like Paul than "wise in Christ" like his opponents. I think 3:18 is relevant here: Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. (Also 1:25-28). I think is working a theme of sorts here. He hits this fool theme in 1 & 2 Corinthians. Some folks today still think they are wise and we are fools, morons, idiots, etc.David H.

Correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure Paul is using Sarcasm. As we know the Corinthians were using their gifts incorrectly and boasting bout what they could do with them. Paul's using the "WE" to speak of "The Apostles" so he is saying We Apostles are this but you are that in the context. SO if we are "fools for christ" then in the same context we are weak, without honor, poor, hungry, thirsty, homeless, etc.William Mckinley Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157998282455318952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22144930.post-5340357320585206582008-10-29T08:45:00.000-04:002008-10-29T08:45:00.000-04:00Looks like yet another sermon series... with an ap...Looks like yet another sermon series... with an appropriate ending, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
