He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, not Joseph. God is Jesus' father, though on Earth Joseph was given the responsibility to father him.

And then it goes on, call no one Master, for you have one Master. The NIV says "teacher". |
This is speaking about calling preachers, teachers, elders, etc. "fathers". Example: Father Paul. In terms of the reverent calling of someone, we can call them "Pastor/Teacher or the like" but never "Father". We have one father (in terms of non-parental figures) and that's God the Father.
