1 Corinthians 4:14

14 I am not writing this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

1 Corinthians 4:14 In-Context

12 and we grow weary from the work of our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;
13 when slandered, we speak kindly. We have become like the rubbish of the world, the dregs of all things, to this very day.
14 I am not writing this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
15 For though you might have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers. Indeed, in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
16 I appeal to you, then, be imitators of me.
