1 Corinthians 4:18 ASV

¹⁶  I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.

¹⁷  For 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 are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.

¹⁸  Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

¹⁹  But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them that are puffed up, but the power.

²⁰  For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
