16 Therefore I urge you, aimitate me.  
17 For this reason I have sent aTimothy to you, bwho is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will cremind you of my ways in Christ, as I dteach everywhere ein every church.  
18 aNow some are1 puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.  
19 aBut I will come to you shortly, bif the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
