1 Corinthians 4:19-21

New King James Version

^19 (A)But I will come to you shortly, ^(B)if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power. ²⁰ For ^(C)the kingdom of God is not in word but in ^(D)power. ²¹ What do you want? ^(E)Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
