For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away.

When I arrive, whomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem;

and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.

So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.
