With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers, ¹  but it was simply not his intention to come now. ²  He will come when he has the opportunity.

When I came ¹  to you, brothers and sisters, ²  I did not come with superior eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed the testimony ³  of God.

Some have become arrogant, ¹  as if I were not coming to you.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline ¹  or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

but when what is perfect ¹  comes, the partial will be set aside.

But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia – for I will be going through Macedonia –

Now if Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the Lord’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’s death until he comes.

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.

On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income ¹  and save ²  it to the extent that God has blessed you, ³  so that a collection will not have to be made 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. ¹ 

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

Now, brothers and sisters, 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?
