1 Corinthians 4:14
King James Version
“I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn”
Context
11Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
12And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn
15For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
17For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
