12 And labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it;
13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things to this day.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you].
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors 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.
