1 Corinthians 16:13-19

13Be alert. Be firm in the Christian faith. Be courageous and strong.

14Do everything with love.

15You know that the family of Stephanas was the first family to be won ⌞for Christ⌟ in Greece. This family has devoted itself to serving God’s people. So I encourage you, brothers and sisters,

16to follow the example of people like these and anyone else who shares their labor and hard work.

17I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus came here. They have made up for your absence.

18They have comforted me, and they have comforted you. Therefore, show people like these your appreciation.

19The churches in the province of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca and the church that meets in their house send their warmest Christian greetings.
