1 Corinthians 16:10-16

New International Version

¹⁰ When Timothy^(A) comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord,^(B) just as I am. ¹¹ No one, then, should treat him with contempt.^(C) Send him on his way^(D) in peace^(E) so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.

¹² Now about our brother Apollos:^(F) I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was quite unwilling to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

¹³ Be on your guard; stand firm^(G) in the faith; be courageous; be strong.^{(H) 14} Do everything in love.^(I)

¹⁵ You know that the household of Stephanas^(J) were the first converts^(K) in Achaia,^(L) and they have devoted themselves to the service^(M) of the Lord’s people.^(N) I urge you, brothers and sisters, ¹⁶ to submit^(O) to such people and to everyone who joins in the work and labors at it.
