1 Corinthians

⁶but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I go. ⁷For I do not wish to see you now by the way; for I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. ⁸But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost; ⁹for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. ¹⁰Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do: ¹¹let no man therefore despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren. ¹²But as touching Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come unto you with the brethren: and it was not at all his will to come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.
