1 Corinthians 4:19-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ But I will come to you soon,^(A) if the Lord wills, and I will know not the talk but the power of those who are inflated with pride. ²⁰ For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. ²¹ What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod,^(B) or in love and a spirit of gentleness?^(C)
