1 Thessalonians 2:11

for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children.

and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you.

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