16 I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me. 17 For this end have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son and faithful in the Lord, who will bring to your remembrance my ways in Christ, how I teach every where in every church. 18 Now some are puffed up, as if I would not come to you. 19 But I will come to you soon, if the Lord please, and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power: 20 for the kingdom of God consisteth not in speech, but in power. 21 What do ye chuse? that I should come to you with a rod? or in love, and in the spirit of meekness? 1 Corinthians 4:16-21, Worsley New Testament.
