1 Corinthians 4:14-17

14I do not writeG1125 theseG3778 thingsG3778 to 1shameG1788 you, but to admonishG3560 you as my belovedG27 2childrenG5043.

15For ifG1437 you were to haveG2192 countlessG3463 3tutorsG3807 in ChristG5547, yetG235 you would not have manyG4183 fathersG3962, for in 4ChristG5547 JesusG2424 I 5becameG1080 your fatherG1080 throughG1223 the 6gospelG2098.

16ThereforeG3767 I urgeG3870 you, be 7imitatorsG3402 of me.

17For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I 8have sentG3992 to you 9TimothyG5095, whoG3739 is my 10belovedG27 and faithfulG4103 childG5043 in the LordG2962, and he will remindG363 you of my waysG3598 which are in ChristG5547, 11justG2531 asG2531 I teachG1321 everywhereG3837 in everyG3956 churchG1577.
