16 I exhort you, therefore, be imitators of me. 17 For this reason have I sent to you Timothy, who is my son, beloved and faithful in the Lord, that he may remind you of my ways that are in Christ, as I teach everywhere, in every church. 18 Now, some have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you; 19 but I will come to you quickly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the speech of those who have become arrogant, but the power. 20 For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power. 21 What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of gentleness? 1 Corinthians 4:16-21, Anderson New Testament. Public domain.
