12 As for our brother Apollos, I have urgently encouraged him to visit you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will or [a]God’s will that he should go now. He will come when he has opportunity.

14 Let everything you do be done in love (true love to God and man as inspired by God’s love for us).
