I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.

Δεν γραφω ταυτα προς εντροπην σας, αλλ' ως τεκνα μου αγαπητα νουθετω.

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