16 Therefore I exhort you⁺, become imitators of me. 17 Because of this, I sent to you⁺ Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you⁺ of my ways that are in Christ Jesus, as I teach everywhere in every church. 18 Now some were puffed up, as if I were not coming to you⁺. 19 But I will come to you⁺ shortly, if the Lord might will, and I will know not only the talk of those being puffed up, but the power. 20 For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. 21 What do you⁺ want? Should I come to you⁺ with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness? 1 Corinthians 4:16-21, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
