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

10 If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lord's work, as I am, so let no one disparage him. 11 Whenever he comes to me, send him on his way in peace, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.

12 As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.

13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.

15 I beg you this, my brothers??ou know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints??16 so I want you also to show deference to such, and to every fellow worker, and laborer. 17 I am glad that Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence. 18 They refresh my spirit as they do yours. So cultivate the acquaintance of such men.
