1 Corinthians 4:19-21

19But I 1will come to you soon, 2if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the 3words of those who are 4arrogant, but their power.

20For the kingdom of God is 5not in 6words, but in power.

21What do you desire? 7That I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?
