Beloved Children and Timothy’s Reminder
Faithful Stewards, Costly Service, and Gentle Power · 1 Corinthians 4
Story guide: Paul does not write to shame but to admonish beloved children in the gospel. He calls them to imitate his Messiah-shaped ways and sends Timothy as a faithful coworker to remind them of teaching consistent in every church.
Open this scene in the reader →14I am not writing these things to shame you, but admonishing you as my beloved children.
15For even if you have countless guardians in Messiah, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the gospel, I became your father.
16Therefore I urge you: become imitators of me.
17For this reason I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ Jesus, just as I teach everywhere in every church.
