1 Corinthians 4:20
King James Version
“For the kingdom of God not in word, but in power.”
Context
17For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
18Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19But 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.
20For the kingdom of God not in word, but in power.
21What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and the spirit of meekness?
