13. Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things to this day.
14. I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
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.
16. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
17. For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who will bring you into remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
