1 Corinthians 4:14-17 I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. ¹⁵ For though ye have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the gospel. ¹⁶ I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me. ¹⁷ For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.
