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

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Now, some are puffed up, as if I were not coming to you. ¹⁹ But I will come to you soon, if the Lord will, and shall know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power. ²⁰ For the Reign of God is not in word, but in power. ²¹ What do you incline? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
