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