1 Corinthians 4:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ I am not writing this to make you feel ashamed, but to ·warn [admonish; correct] you as my own ·dear [beloved] children. ¹⁵ For though you may have ten thousand ·teachers [guardians; tutors] in Christ, you do not have many fathers. [^LFor; Because] Through the ·Good News [Gospel] I became your father in Christ Jesus, ¹⁶ so I ·beg [urge; encourage; exhort] you, ·please follow my example [^Lbe imitators of me].
