I’m not writing these things to make you ashamed but to warn you, since you are my loved children.
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
I do not write this to shame you, but to warn and counsel you as my beloved children.
I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
I am not writing these things in order to confound you, but in order to admonish you, as my dearest sons.
I write not these things to confound you; but I admonish you as my dearest children.
