For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the good-news, not in wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ would be emptied.

Because of this I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every congregation.

And when I arrive, whomever ye may approve by letters, I will send these men to bring your gift to Jerusalem.

Let not any man therefore disparage him, but send him forth in peace, so that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brothers.
