1 Corinthians 16:10-12 Recommendation For The Lord's work. 1 September 2024

1Co 16:10 If Timothy comes,
make sure that he has nothing to fear from you;
he is doing the Lord's work,
just as I am,
11 and nobody is to underrate him.
Start him off in peace on his journey to come on to me:
the brothers and I are waiting for him.
12 As for our brother Apollos,
I urged him earnestly to come to you with the brothers,
but he was quite firm that he did not want to go yet,
and he will come when he finds an opportunity.

It is nice to see how Saint Pail respected the free will of Apollos. He did not force him to come.

Saint Paul recommends other gifted workers. I very much like to see the talents of fellow believers recognized and stimulated.

Prayer

Jesus, instruct me to stir up talents and gifts of fellow workers.
