1 Corinthians 16:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ because a wide door for productive work has been opened for me, although there are also many adversaries to face.

¹⁰ News of Other Missionaries. If Timothy comes, put him at ease, for he is doing the work of the Lord just as I am. ¹¹ Therefore, let no one treat him with disdain. Rather, send him on his way in peace when he leaves you to come to me, for the brethren and I are expecting him.
