1 Corinthians 4:17 YLT

¹⁵  for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I -- I did beget you;

¹⁶  I call upon you, therefore, become ye followers of me;

¹⁷  because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach.

¹⁸  And as if I were not coming unto you certain were puffed up;

¹⁹  but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power;
