9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, but there are many adversaries.
10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11 Let no man therefore despise him; but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me; for I look for him with the brethren.
12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren; but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to everyone that helpeth with us, and laboreth.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours; therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
