For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News?not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

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

When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
