Final Exhortations

13 (A)Watch, (B)stand fast in the faith, be brave, (C)be strong. 14 (D)Let all that you do be done with love.

15 I urge you, brethren—you know (E)the household of Stephanas, that it is (F)the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to (G)the ministry of the saints— 16 (H)that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and (I)labors with us.

17 I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, (J)for what was lacking on your part they supplied. 18 (K)For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore (L)acknowledge such men.

Greetings and a Solemn Farewell

19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, (M)with the church that is in their house. 20 All the brethren greet you.

(N)Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21 (O)The salutation with my own hand—Paul’s.

22 If anyone (P)does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, (Q)let him be [a]accursed. (R)O[b] Lord, come!

23 (S)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
