1 Corinthians 4:12 And we labour, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
Paul continued to work at various times to make sure he was not a burden to the local people. He tried to make sure that he worked for his necessities when required.
Does this mean that we should all be working? That question is individual and needs to be answered only in the context of the work Christ has called you to do.
But don’t put down others just because they put you down. Don’t persecute others because they persecute you.
Bless people and encourage others just as Christ has taught us to do!
