1 Corinthians 16:11

9 For ^aa great and effective door has opened to me, and ^bthere are many adversaries.

10 And ^aif Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for ^bhe does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

11 ^aTherefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey ^bin peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.

12 Now concerning our brother ^aApollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.

Final Exhortations

13 ^aWatch, ^bstand fast in the faith, be brave, ^cbe strong.

1 Corinthians 16:11

Let no man - despise him - Let none pretend to say that he has not full authority from God to do the work of an evangelist.

But conduct him forth in peace - I believe, with Bp. Pearce, that this clause should be translated and pointed thus: accompany him upon his journey, that he may come unto me in peace, ( ͅ , in safety), as the word is used in Mark 5:34; and Luke 7:50.

For I look for him with the brethren - - . This clause should not be understood as if Paul was expecting certain brethren with Timothy; but it was the brethren that were with Paul that were looking for him; I, with the brethren, am looking for him.
