NASB
"I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children."
— 1 Corinthians 4:14, NASB
“I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. ”
“I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. ”
“I don't write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.”
“A Father’s Warning I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.”
“I write not these things to confound you: but I admonish you as my dearest children.”
“I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.”
“I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. ”
To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;
and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;
when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.
I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.
For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.
