1 Corinthians 4:9

Greek/English Interlinear with Strong’s Numbers


King James Version

For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
New King James Version

For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
New American Standard Bible

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
New International Version

For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like men condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men.
The Amplified Bible

For it seems to me that God has made an exhibit of us apostles, exposing us to view last [of all, like men in a triumphal procession who are] sentenced to death [and displayed at the end of the line]. For we have become a spectacle to the world – a show in the world’s amphitheatre – with both men and angels (as spectators).
Wuest’s Expanded Translation

for it seems to me that God exhibited us, the apostles, as those who in the eyes of men are the most inferior in the scale of human existence, as men doomed to die, because we were exhibited as a spectacle to be gazed at and made sport of by the universe, both by angels and by men.
Phillips’ Modern English

I sometimes think that God means us, the messengers, to appear last in the procession of mankind, like the men who are to die in the arena. For indeed we are made a public spectacle before the angels of Heaven and the eyes of men.
Williams’ Language of the People

For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on exhibition at the disgraced end of the procession, as they do with men who are doomed to die in the arena. For we have become a spectacle to the universe, to angels as well as men.
