1 Corinthians 4:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ The Authority of a Father in Christ. I am writing all this not to make you ashamed but to admonish you as my beloved children. ¹⁵ Even though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

¹⁶ I appeal to you then to be imitators of me.
