1 Corinthians 4:18-21
Now some are [a]puffed up, as though I were not coming to you. 19 But I will come to you shortly if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power. 20 For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. 21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
