17 That is why ^oI sent¹ you Timothy, my beloved and faithful ^pchild in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ,² as I teach them ^qeverywhere in every church.

10 ^sWhen Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the ^twork of the Lord, as I am. 11 So ^ulet no one despise him. Help him on his way in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
