<p class="bodytext">With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers,<n id="1" /> but it was simply not his intention to come now.<n id="2" /> He will come when he has the opportunity.p>

<p class="bodytext">When I came<n id="1" /> to you, brothers and sisters,<n id="2" /> I did not come with superior eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed the testimony<n id="3" /> of God.

Some have become arrogant,<n id="1" /> as if I were not coming to you.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline<n id="1" /> or with love and a spirit of gentleness?p>

but when what is perfect<n id="1" /> comes, the partial will be set aside.

<t /><p class="bodytext">But someone will say, &#8220;How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia &#8211; for I will be going through Macedonia &#8211;

<p class="bodytext">Now if Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the Lord&#8217;s work, as I am too.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.

For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord&#8217;s death until he comes.p>

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that when you assemble it does not lead to judgment. I will give directions about other matters when I come.p>

On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income<n id="1" /> and save<n id="2" /> it to the extent that God has blessed you,<n id="3" /> so that a collection will not have to be made<n id="4" /> when I come.

So then, let no one treat him with contempt. But send him on his way in peace so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him with the brothers.<n id="1" />p>

So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will<n id="1" /> bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition<n id="2" /> from God.p>

<p class="bodytext">Now, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I help you unless I speak to you with a revelation or with knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
