14 I do not write these things ^jto make you ashamed, but to admonish you ^kas my beloved children. 15 For ^lthough you have countless¹ guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For ^mI became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

19 ^bmy little children, ^cfor whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ ^dis formed in you!

2 To Timothy, ^emy true child in the faith:

^fGrace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 To Timothy, ^dmy beloved child:

^eGrace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

4 To Titus, ^lmy true child in ^ma common faith:

ⁿGrace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

10 I appeal to you for ^pmy child, ^qOnesimus,^{1 r}whose father I became in my imprisonment.
