  ¹⁷Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

  ¹⁸Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

  ¹⁹But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

  ²⁰For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.

  ²¹What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

  ¹It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.

  ²You are arrogant, and didn’t mourn instead, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

  ³For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.

  ⁴In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

  ⁵are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

  ¹⁷On one of those days, he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.

  ¹⁸Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.

  ¹⁹Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle before Jesus.

  ²⁰Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

  ²¹The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”

  ²²But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?

  ²³Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you;’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk?’

  ²⁴But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” (he said to the paralyzed man), “I tell you, arise, take up your cot, and go to your house.”

  ²⁵Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.

  ²⁶Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”
