1 Corinthians 16:9

9 A huge door of opportunity for good work has opened up here. (There is also mushrooming opposition.)

1 Corinthians 16:9 In-Context

7 I don't want to just drop by in between other "primary" destinations. I want a good, long, leisurely visit. If the Master agrees, we'll have it!
8 For the present, I'm staying right here in Ephesus.
9 A huge door of opportunity for good work has opened up here. (There is also mushrooming opposition.)
10 If Timothy shows up, take good care of him. Make him feel completely at home among you. He works so hard for the Master, just as I do.
11 Don't let anyone disparage him. After a while, send him on to me with your blessing. Tell him I'm expecting him, and any friends he has with him.
