16. I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.
17. For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.
18. Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
19. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them which are puffed up, but the power.
