1 Corinthians 16:8-12

English Standard Version

⁸ But I will stay in Ephesus until ^(A)Pentecost, ⁹ for ^(B)a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and ^(C)there are many adversaries.

^10 (D)When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for ^(E)he is doing ^(F)the work of the Lord, as I am. ¹¹ So ^(G)let no one despise him. ^(H)Help him on his way ^(I)in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.

Final Instructions

¹² Now concerning ^(J)our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will^[a] to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.
