¹⁴ Not `as' putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,

¹¹ even as ye have known, how each one of you, as a father his own children, we are exhorting you, and comforting, and testifying,

¹⁵ for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I -- I did beget you;

⁴ greater than these things I have no joy, that I may hear of my children in truth walking.

¹⁴ and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;

²⁸ whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,

¹⁹ Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, `are' for your up-building,

¹⁴ Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children,

¹⁵ and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am loved.

¹¹ wherefore? because I do not love you? God hath known!

³ not to condemn you do I say `it', for I have said before that in our hearts ye are to die with and to live with;

¹¹ Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!

¹² ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your `own' bowels,

¹³ and `as' a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say `it',) be ye enlarged -- also ye!

³⁴ awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an ignorance of God; for shame to you I say `it'.

¹⁵ And I have used none of these things; neither did I write these things that it may be so done in my case, for `it is' good for me rather to die, than that any one may make my glorying void;

⁵ unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren!

³¹ `Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

²¹ And thou, because thou hast warned him -- the righteous -- that the righteous sin not, and he hath not sinned, he surely liveth, because he hath been warned; and thou thy soul hast delivered.'
