1 Corinthians 4:19
Paul’s Fatherly Warning
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.20For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
