1 Corinthians 4:14 DBY

¹²  and labour, working with our own hands. Railed at, we bless; persecuted, we suffer [it];

¹³  insulted, we entreat: we are become as [the] offscouring of the world, [the] refuse of all, until now.

¹⁴  Not [as] chiding do I write these things to you, but as my beloved children I admonish [you].

¹⁵  For if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus *I* have begotten you through the glad tidings.

¹⁶  I entreat you therefore, be my imitators.
