1 Corinthians 4:14

For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

I say this to your shame. Is it really this way: there is not one wise man among you who will be able to pass judgment between his brothers?

Now in a like exchange—I speak as to children—open wide to us also.

Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you. For children ought not to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and bearing witness to each one of you as a father would his own children,

And if anyone does not obey our word in this letter, take special note of that person to not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame.

I plead with you for my child Onesimus, of whom I became a father in my chains,

I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
