1 Corinthians 16:13-19

13Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.

14And do everything with love.

15You know that Stephanas and his household were the first of the harvest of believers in Greece, and they are spending their lives in service to God’s people. I urge you, dear brothers and sisters,

16to submit to them and others like them who serve with such devotion.

17I am very glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come here. They have been providing the help you weren’t here to give me.

18They have been a wonderful encouragement to me, as they have been to you. You must show your appreciation to all who serve so well.

19The churches here in the province of Asia send greetings in the Lord, as do Aquila and Priscilla and all the others who gather in their home for church meetings.
