10. And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I,
11. no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brethren;
12. and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.
13. Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;
14. let all your things be done in love.

16. that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with [us] and labouring;
17. and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up;
