1 Corinthians 4:13-19

13when we are slanderedG1426, we 1replyG3870 asG3870 friendsG3870; we have 2becomeG1096 as the scumG4027 of the worldG2889, the dregsG4067 of allG3956 thingsG3956, even untilG2193 nowG737.

14I do not writeG1125 theseG3778 thingsG3778 to 3shameG1788 you, but to admonishG3560 you as my belovedG27 4childrenG5043. 15For ifG1437 you were to haveG2192 countlessG3463 5tutorsG3807 in ChristG5547, yetG235 you would not have manyG4183 fathersG3962, for in 6ChristG5547 JesusG2424 I 7becameG1080 your fatherG1080 throughG1223 the 8gospelG2098. 16ThereforeG3767 I urgeG3870 you, be 9imitatorsG3402 of me. 17For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I 10have sentG3992 to you 11TimothyG5095, whoG3739 is my 12belovedG27 and faithfulG4103 childG5043 in the LordG2962, and he will remindG363 you of my waysG3598 which are in ChristG5547, 13justG2531 asG2531 I teachG1321 everywhereG3837 in everyG3956 churchG1577. 18NowG1161 someG5100 have become 1415arrogantG5448, asG5613 thoughG5613 I were not 16comingG2064 to you. 19But I 17will comeG2064 to you soonG5030, 18ifG1437 the LordG2962 willsG2309, and I shall findG1097 outG1097, not the 19wordsG3056 of thoseG3588 who are 20arrogantG5448, but their powerG1411.
