For Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the good news, not with a wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ should be without effect.

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

And when I come, whom you shall approve, these will I send with letters to carry your charity to Jerusalem;

and perhaps remain and spend the winter, that you may send me forward wherever I go.

let no one therefore despise him. But send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I look for him with the brothers.
