15 For though you may have 10,000 guardians in Christ, you certainly do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, I have become your father through the good news.+

2 to Timothy, a beloved child:+

May you have undeserved kindness, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

4 to Titus, a genuine child according to the faith we share:

May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

10 I am appealing to you for my child, whose father I became+ while in prison,* O·nesʹi·mus.+
