12 aAnd we labor, working with our own hands. bBeing reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
13 being defamed, we1 entreat. aWe have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.
Paul’s Paternal Care
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but aas my beloved children I warn you.
15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for ain Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Therefore I urge you, aimitate me.
17 For this reason I have sent aTimothy to you, bwho is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will cremind you of my ways in Christ, as I dteach everywhere ein every church.
18 aNow some are1 puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
19 aBut I will come to you shortly, bif the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
