'Forceful' in the Bible

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and forceful people lay hold of it.

Now I myself, Paul, plead with you with the gentleness and kindness of the Messiah I who am humble when I am face to face with you but forceful toward you when I am away!

For someone is saying, "His letters are impressive and forceful, but his bodily presence is weak and his speech contemptible."
