1 Corinthians 16:10-18 - News About Timothy, Apollos, And Others

10 If Timothy reaches you, put him at his ease among you, for he is devoted to the Lord's work, just as I am. 11 So no one is to slight him. But see him off cordially when he comes back to me, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.

12 As for our brother Apollos, I have often urged him to visit you with the other brothers, and he is quite unwilling to come now, but he will come when he has a good opportunity.

13 Be on the watch. Stand firm in your faith. Act like men. Show yourselves strong. 14 Do everything with love.

15 Now I urge you, brothers??ou know that the family of Stephanas was the first to be converted in Greece, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of God's people??16 I want you to enlist under such leaders, and under anyone who joins with you and works hard. 17 And I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come here, for they have made up for your absence. 18 They have cheered my heart, and yours too. You should appreciate such men.
