ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૪:૧૨
અમે હાથે કામ અને મહેનત કરીએ છીએ; નિંદા પામવા છતાં અમે આશીર્વાદ આપીએ છીએ; સતાવણી સહન કરીએ છીએ;
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ४:१२
और अपने ही हाथों के काम करके परिश्रम करते हैं। लोग बुरा कहते हैं, हम आशीष देते हैं; वे सताते हैं, हम सहते हैं।

In context

10We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

11Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

12We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

13Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

14I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
