1 Corinthians 16:10-24

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.

Greetings

¹⁹The churches of Asia send you greetings. ^(T)Aquila and Prisca, together with ^(U)the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. ²⁰All the brothers send you greetings. ^(V)Greet one another with a holy kiss.

²¹I, Paul, write ^(W)this greeting with my own hand. ²²If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be ^(X)accursed. Our Lord, come!^[d] ²³^(Y)The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. ²⁴My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
