That's why I sent Timothy to you. He is my dear and dependable son in the Lord and will help you remember how I live for the Messiah Jesus as I teach everywhere in every church.

When one of you has a complaint against another, does he dare to take the matter before those who are unrighteous and not before the saints?

When I arrive, I will send letters along with the men you approve to take your gift to Jerusalem.
