1 Corinthians 4:14 KJV

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
1 Corinthians 4:14, King James Version

In context

13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
