1 Corinthians 4:18

Paul’s Fatherly Warning

17That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.18Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.
