1 Corinthians 4:16-20 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

16. Therefore I appeal to you, to become imitators of me.

17. For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and trustworthy son in the Master, who shall remind you of my ways in Messiah, as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

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

19. But I shall come to you shortly, if the Master desires, and I shall know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

20. For the reign of Elohim is not in speech, but in power.
