1 Corinthians 4:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ when we are slandered, we respond gently. We are regarded as the rubbish of the world, the dregs of humanity, to this very day.

¹⁴ The Authority of a Father in Christ. I am writing all this not to make you ashamed but to admonish you as my beloved children. ¹⁵ Even though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
