For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel -- and not with clever speech, so that the cross of Christ would not become useless.

For this reason, I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and faithful son in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.

Then, when I arrive, I will send those whom you approve with letters of explanation to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

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

So then, let no one treat him with contempt. But send him on his way in peace so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him with the brothers.

The churches in the province of Asia send greetings to you. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, with the church that meets in their house.

All the brothers and sisters send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

I, Paul, send this greeting with my own hand.
