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

10 But if Timothy come, see that he may be among you without fear: for he worketh the Lord's work, as I also do. 11 Let no man therefore treat him with disrespect; but forward him on his way in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

12 As concerning brother Apollos, I besought him much that he would come to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his wish to come at this time: but he will come when he can find a good opportunity.

13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, be manful, be strong. 14 Let all your concerns be transacted in love.

15 Now I exhort you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints:) 16 wherefore submit yourselves to such, and to every one that worketh with us and laboureth. 17 I rejoice in the arrival of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; because what was lacking from you, they have supplied. 18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours; respect therefore such men.
