Bible: 1 Cor. 4:17; 16:10-11

4:17 For this reason, I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and faithful son in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ, 1  as I teach them everywhere in every church.
16:10 I will greatly multiply your descendants,” the Lord’s angel added, 1  “so that they will be too numerous to count.” 2  16:11 Then the Lord’s angel said to her,

“You are now 3  pregnant

and are about to give birth 4  to a son.

You are to name him Ishmael, 5 

for the Lord has heard your painful groans. 6
