‏ 1 Corinthians 4:15

v. 15: Paul reminds them that he is their spiritual father. He says, “Though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel” (1 Corinthians 4:15 a). Paul was the first to preach the gospel to them and helped them become Christians, which makes his relationship with them very special. There should be a deep love between faithful ministers and those they lead to Christ.
