In context

¹⁸Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.

¹⁹But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.

²⁰For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

²¹Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
