1 Corinthians 4:17

Paul's Concern For The Corinthian Believers

¹⁶ So, I urge you to imitate my lifestyle. ¹⁷ This is the reason that I am sending Timothy to you. He is my dearly loved and faithful [spiritual] son in [the service of] the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways [i.e., my teaching and conduct] which are in [the service of] Christ. I teach these things in every congregation wherever [I go]. ¹⁸ Now some of you have become arrogant, thinking that I would not [dare to] come to you.

1 Corinthians 7:25
