‏ 1 Corinthians 16:10

The Apostle Recommends Timothy; General Directions

In this section, Paul gives special instructions about Timothy, a young leader who is coming to Corinth. He wants the church to treat Timothy with respect and kindness, even though Timothy is young and might need to correct them. Paul also mentions Apollos, showing good cooperation and respect between Christian leaders. These verses teach us how important it is to support and encourage one another in God’s work.

v. 10: Paul asks the Corinthians to make sure Timothy can be with them without fear. He reminds them that Timothy is doing the Lord’s work, just like Paul himself. The church should not discourage Timothy, even if he has to correct or reprove them (1 Corinthians 16:10 a).
