I am not writing this to shame you, but to admonish you, as my beloved children.

I say this to shame you. Is it so that there is not among you a single wise man, capable of deciding between a man and his brother?

What! Have you no houses in which to eat or drink? or do you wish to show your contempt for the church of God, and to shame those who have no homes to eat in? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I certainly do not praise you.

Wake up, do justly, cease from sin; for I say to your shame that some of you have no acquaintance with God.
