KJV ORIGINAL
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
When people trash our reputation, we respond with kindness. Honestly, the world treats us like we're garbage — like we're the dirt everyone scrapes off their shoes.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes following Jesus means the world will treat you like trash, but you keep showing love anyway.
