Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary 1 Corinthians 4:10

"We are fools for Christ`s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor." — 1 Corinthians 4:10 (ASV)

Paul makes a series of contrasts between the proud Corinthians and the “dishonored” apostles—all from the warped viewpoint of the Corinthians. What a contrast: the apostles—foolish, weak, and dishonored; the Corinthians—wise, strong, and honored!
