1 Corinthians 4:16

¹⁴  I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

¹⁵  For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

¹⁶  Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

¹⁷  For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

¹⁸  Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
