8. But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost;
9. for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10. Now if Timothy come, see that he 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 set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren.
12. But 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.
13. Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14. Let all that ye do be done in love.
15. Now I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),
16. that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboureth.
