But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that you may not come together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be strengthened;

But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,

that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.

We then, as workers together with Him, also beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
