1 Corinthians 4:11 Douay-Rheims

Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no fixed abode;

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

And "let no one," saith he, "think that I speak only of the past:"

"Even unto this present hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked." Seest thou that all the life of Christians must be such as this; and not merely a day or two? For though the wrestler who is victorious in a single contest only, be crowned, he is not crowned again if he suffer a fall.

"And hunger;" against the luxurious. "And are buffeted;" against those who are puffed up. "And have no certain dwelling-place;" for we are driven about. "And are naked;" against the rich.
