14 I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

17 That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.
18 Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
19 But 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.

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