18 Some of you think I am not coming for a visit, and so you are boasting.
19 But if the Lord lets me come, I will soon be there. Then I will find out if the ones who are doing all this boasting really have any power.
20 God's kingdom isn't just a lot of words. It is power.
21 What do you want me to do when I arrive? Do you want me to be hard on you or to be kind and gentle?
