1 Corinthians 16:13-18

English Standard Version

^13 (A)Be watchful, ^(B)stand firm in the faith, ^(C)act like men, ^(D)be strong. ^14 (E)Let all that you do be done in love.

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