1 Corinthians 4:16

¹⁴ I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

¹⁵ Even if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

Therefore I urge you to imitate me.

¹⁷ That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.

¹⁸ Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
