1 Corinthians 4:14
1 Corinthians 4:14 New King James Version (NKJV)
I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.
1 Corinthians 4:14-16 The Message (MSG)
I’m not writing all this as a neighborhood scold to shame you. I’m writing as a father to you, my children. I love you and want you to grow up well, not spoiled. There are a lot of people around who can’t wait to tell you what you’ve done wrong, but there aren’t many fathers willing to take the time and effort to help you grow up. It was as Jesus helped me proclaim God’s Message to you that I became your father. I’m not, you know, asking you to do anything I’m not already doing myself.
