1 Corinthians 4:14-21
Paul’s Fatherly Warning

14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you].

14:

15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

15:

16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

16:

17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

17:

18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

18:

19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

19:

20 For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power.

20:

21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and [in] the spirit of meekness?

21:
