17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, which is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my [a]ways in Christ as I teach everywhere in every Church.

19 But I will come to you shortly, (A)if the Lord will, and I will know, not the [c]words of them which are puffed up, but the power.
