ἐλεύσομαι δὲ ταχέως πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐὰν κύριος θελήσῃ καὶ γνώσομαι οὐ τὸν λόγον τῶν πεφυσιωμένων ἀλλὰ τὴν δύναμιν·
19
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

2 Corinthians 10:10

ὅτι Αἱ μέν ἐπιστολαὶ φησίν βαρεῖαι καὶ ἰσχυραί δὲ παρουσία τοῦ σώματος ἀσθενὴς καὶ λόγος ἐξουθενημένος
10
For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

1 Corinthians 4:5

ὥστε μὴ πρὸ καιροῦ τι κρίνετε ἕως ἂν ἔλθῃ κύριος ὃς καὶ φωτίσει τὰ κρυπτὰ τοῦ σκότους καὶ φανερώσει τὰς βουλὰς τῶν καρδιῶν· καὶ τότε ἔπαινος γενήσεται ἑκάστῳ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ
5
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the the Lord come, who both will bring to light hidden things of the darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
