(1Co 4:13) “Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.” Isn’t it interesting that he who was used to pen most of the New Testament, suffered as the lowest of men? Why? To keep him usable; his pride was kept in check: (2Co 12:7) “And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.”
