Proverbs 5:13

I didn’t obey my teachers
or listen closely to my mentors.

I’ll get up, go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.

Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.

Now we ask you, brothers, to give recognition to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you,

Remember your leaders who have spoken God’s word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith.
