14I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you, as my dear children.
14I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you, as my dear children.
11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
12 We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
14 I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you, as my dear children.
15 Even though you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
4:14I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you. ]
4:14I write not these things to confound you; but I admonish you as my dearest children.
4:14I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
4:14Not as chiding do I write these things to you, but as my beloved children I admonish you.
4:14I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
4:14I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
4:14I don't write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
4:14Not as putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,
4:14I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
