1 Corinthians 16:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 If Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord just as I am;(A) 11 therefore let no one despise him. Send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers and sisters.(B)
12 Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers and sisters, but he was not at all willing to come now. He will come when he has the opportunity.(C)

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.
