1 Corinthians 16:16-24

16to be subject to such leaders [treating them with courtesy and respect], and to everyone who helps in the work and labors [for the benefit of yourselves and the church].

17I rejoice because Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.

18They have refreshed my spirit as well as yours. So fully acknowledge such men and deeply appreciate them.

19The churches of Asia send you their greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church [that meets] in their house, send you their warm greetings in the Lord.

20All the believers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.

22If anyone does not love the Lord [does not obey and respect and believe in Jesus Christ and His message], he is to be accursed. Maranatha (O our Lord, come)!

23The grace of our Lord Jesus [His unmerited favor, His spiritual blessing, His profound mercy] be with you.

24My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
