1 Corinthians 16:10-18

English Standard Version

¹⁰^(A)When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for ^(B)he is doing ^(C)the work of the Lord, as I am. ¹¹So ^(D)let no one despise him. ^(E)Help him on his way ^(F)in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.

Final Instructions

¹²Now concerning ^(G)our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will^[a] to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

¹³^(H)Be watchful, ^(I)stand firm in the faith, ^(J)act like men, ^(K)be strong. ¹⁴^(L)Let all that you do be done in love.

¹⁵Now I urge you, brothers^[b]—you know that ^(M)the household^[c] of Stephanas were ^(N)the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves ^(O)to the service of the saints— ¹⁶^(P)be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. ¹⁷I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for ^(Q)your absence, ¹⁸for they ^(R)refreshed my spirit as well as yours. ^(S)Give recognition to such people.
