What do you wish? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 4:21 Go To 1 Corinthians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul leaves it up to the Corinthians to decide how he should come to them. We too have a choice. Either we can fall into hell, or we can obtain the kingdom. But if you say that you are willing to do the right thing but not able, you are mistaken. All that means is that you are not willing strongly enough.
