1 Corinthians 16:12-14 (NLT)

Now about our brother Apollos—I urged him to visit you with the other believers, but he was not willing to go right now. He will see you later when he has the opportunity.

Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.

        •  Be on guard (gregoreuo) – the general attitude of alertness on the part of the Christian believer, in view of                 actual or imminent test to one’s spiritual life.

       •  Stand firm in the faith (steko) – steadfastness in the faith and profession of Christ.

       •  Be courageous (andrizomai) – behave oneself like a man.

       •  Be strong (krataioo) – to grow in strength.

        •  Do everything with love (agape) – it involves God doing what He knows is best for man, not necessarily what             man desires.
