1 Corinthians 16:12-14

J.B. Phillips New Testament

News of Timothy and Apollos

^10-12 If Timothy comes to you, put him at his ease. He is as genuine a worker for the Lord as I am, and there is therefore no reason to look down on him. Send him on his way in peace, for I am expecting him to come to me here with the other Christian brothers. As for our brother Apollos I pressed him strongly to go to you with the rest, but it was definitely not God’s will for him to do so then. However, he will come to you as soon as an opportunity occurs.

A little sermon in a nutshell!

^13-14 Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, live like men, be strong! Let everything that you do be done in love.
