¹² Now about our brother Apollos:^(A) I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was quite unwilling to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

¹³ Be on your guard; stand firm^(B) in the faith; be courageous; be strong.^{(C) 14} Do everything in love.^(D)

¹⁵ You know that the household of Stephanas^(E) were the first converts^(F) in Achaia,^(G) and they have devoted themselves to the service^(H) of the Lord’s people.^(I) I urge you, brothers and sisters, ¹⁶ to submit^(J) to such people and to everyone who joins in the work and labors at it. ¹⁷ I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.^{(K) 18} For they refreshed^(L) my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.^(M)

Final Greetings

¹⁹ The churches in the province of Asia^(N) send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla^[a](O) greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.^{(P) 20} All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.^(Q)

²¹ I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.^(R)

²² If anyone does not love the Lord,^(S) let that person be cursed!^(T) Come, Lord^[b]!^(U)
