1 Corinthians 4:18-21 Now some were puffed up as though I were not coming to you.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Now some were puffed up as though I were not coming to you. ¹⁹ Yet I shall be coming to you swiftly, if ever the Lord should be willing, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power." ²⁰ For not in word is the kingdom of God, but in power." ²¹ What are you wanting? With a rod may I be coming to you, or in love and a spirit of meekness?
