It is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all those who are descended from Israel are truly Israel,

since you are encountering the same conflict that you saw me face and now hear that I am facing.

For I am afraid that somehow when I come I will not find you what I wish, and you will find me not what you wish. I am afraid that somehow there may be quarreling, jealousy, intense anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.
