13 (A)Be on the alert, (B)stand firm in the faith, (C)act like men, (D)be strong. 14 All that you do must be done (E)in love.

15 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters: you know the (F)household of Stephanas, that [a]they are the (G)first fruits of (H)Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to (I)ministry to (J)the [b]saints; 16 I urge that (K)you also be subject to such as these and to everyone who helps in the work and labors. 17 I rejoice over the [c](L)coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because they have [d]supplied (M)what was lacking on your part. 18 For they (N)have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore (O)acknowledge such men.
