1 Corinthians 16:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 Now if (A)Timothy comes, see that he [a]has no reason to be afraid while among you, for he is doing (B)the Lord’s work, as I also am. 11 (C)So do not look down on him, anyone. But (D)send him on his way (E)in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
12 Now concerning our brother (F)Apollos, I strongly encouraged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has the opportunity.

New English Translation
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I am too. 11 So then, let no one treat him with contempt. But send him on his way in peace so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him with the brothers.[a]
12 With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers,[b] but it was simply not his intention to come now.[c] He will come when he has the opportunity.
