13 I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me (A)on your behalf (B)during my imprisonment for the gospel,
15 For (A)though you have countless[a] guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For (B)I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
19 (A)my little children, (B)for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ (C)is formed in you!
