The apostle Paul may not have been a natural father, but he wrote to Christians in Corinth: “Though you may have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you certainly do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have become your father through the good news. ” ​ — 1 Corinthians 4: 15.
Apostel Paulus ei olnud lihalik isa, kuid ta kirjutas Korintoses elavatele kristlastele: „Ehkki teil oleks kümme tuhat kasvatajat Kristuses, ometi ei ole teil mitut isa, sest mina sünnitasin teid evangeeliumi läbi Kristuses Jeesuses. ” — 1. Korintlastele 4: 15.
