1 Corinthians 16:12

Compare all

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.

14 ^aLet all that you do be done with love.

As touching our brother Apollos - It appears from this that the brethren, of whom the apostle speaks in the preceding verse, were then with him at Ephesus; I, with the brethren, greatly desired to come.

But his will was not at all to come - As there had been a faction set up in the name of Apollos at Corinth, he probably thought it not prudent to go thither at this time, lest his presence might be the means of giving it either strength or countenance.
