Timothy Joins Paul and Silas

16 Now Paul also arrived at ^(A)Derbe and at ^(B)Lystra. And behold, a disciple was there, named ^(C)Timothy, the son of a ^(D)Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek, ² and he was well spoken of by ^(E)the brothers who were in ^(F)Lystra and ^(G)Iconium. ³ Paul wanted this man to ^[a]go with him, and he ^(H)took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. ⁴ Now while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering ^(I)the decrees which had been decided upon by ^(J)the apostles and ^(K)elders who were in Jerusalem, for them to keep. ⁵ So ^(L)the churches were being strengthened ^[b]in the faith, and were ^(M)abounding in number daily.
