But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power.For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love in a spirit of gentleness?
Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive his commendation from God.
