1 Corinthians
Chapters 4:16-21
Revised Version 1885
16I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.
17For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.
18Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them which are puffed up, but the power.
20For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of meekness?
