1 Corinthians 4:14

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

In context

12 We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

13 when we are slandered, we answer gently. 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 beloved children.

15 Even if 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.
