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

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you. ¹⁹ But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are 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?
