I appeal to you, then, be imitators of me. For this reason I sent you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ Jesus, as I teach them everywhere in every church. But some of you, thinking that I am not coming to you, have become arrogant. But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power. For the kingdom of God depends not on talk but on power. What would you prefer? Am I to come to you with a stick, or with love in a spirit of gentleness? (1Corinthians 4: 16-21)

Paul contrasts arrogance - phusioo - with power - dunamis.

This is innate power: the capability that comes from significant resources, deep understanding, and profound purpose.

Phusioo is to be puffed up, proud, and - often - to be windy with words.

The cliques at Corinth were keen to argue over insignificant differences. Their preoccupation with argument distracted from the innate power they share in Christ.

Say less. Do more.
