1 Corinthians 4:21
“What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?”
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
