15for 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;


In Context

13 being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become — of all things an offscouring — till now.

14 Not as putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,

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.
