1 Corinthians 16:11

HumilityPeace

9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.

10 If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.

12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

13 Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.
