In context

11To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.

12We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

13When we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.

14I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

15Even if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
