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

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I admonish you: ¹⁵ for if ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet ye have not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you by the gospel. ¹⁶ I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me. ¹⁷ For this end have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son and faithful in the Lord, who will bring to your remembrance my ways in Christ, how I teach every where in every church.
