1 Corinthians 4:17-21
English Standard Version
17 That is why (A)I sent[a] you Timothy, (B)my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ,[b] (C)as I teach them everywhere in every church. 18 Some are (D)arrogant, (E)as though I were not coming to you. 19 But (F)I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power. 20 For (G)the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. 21 What do you wish? (H)Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love in a spirit of gentleness?
