1 Corinthians 16:11-14
The Message
1 Corinthians 16:11-14
The Message
10-11 If Timothy shows up, take good care of him. Make him feel completely at home among you. He works so hard for the Master, just as I do. Don’t let anyone disparage him. After a while, send him on to me with your blessing. Tell him I’m expecting him, and any friends he has with him.
12 About our friend Apollos, I’ve done my best to get him to pay you a visit, but haven’t talked him into it yet. He doesn’t think this is the right time. But there will be a “right time.”
13-14 Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you’ve got, be resolute, and love without stopping.

1 Corinthians 16:11-13
New International Version
11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt.(A) Send him on his way(B) in peace(C) so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.
12 Now about our brother Apollos:(D) 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(E) in the faith; be courageous; be strong.(F)
