9For a great and important door there is open to me, and there are a number of people against me.
10Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; because he is doing the Lord's work, even as I am:
11See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.
12But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.
13Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.
