1 Corinthians 16:7-11 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. I don’t want to see you now just in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.

8. But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

9. because a wide door for effective ministry has opened for me — yet many oppose me.

10. If Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear from you, because he is doing the Lord’s work, just as I am.

11. Therefore, no one should look down on him. Send him on his way in peace so he can come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
