1 Corinthians 4:11 Context
9For I thinke that God hath set forth vs the Apostles last, as it were approued to death. For wee are made a spectacle vnto the world, and to Angels, and to men. 10We are fooles for Christs sake, but ye are wise in Christ. We are weake, but ye are strong: yee are honourable, but we are despised. 11Euen vnto this present houre we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwelling place, 12And labour, working with our owne hands: being reuiled, wee blesse: being persecuted, we suffer it: 13Being defamed, we intreate: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the off-scouring of all things vnto this day.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 4:11
4:11 And are naked - Who can imagine a more glorious triumph of the truth, than that which is gained in these circumstances when St. Paul, with an impediment in his speech, and a person rather contemptible than graceful, appeared in a mean, perhaps tattered, dress before persons of the highest distinction, and yet commanded such attention. and made such deep impressions upon them!
