Final Exhortation

¹³ Be alert, stand firm in the faith,^(A) be courageous,^[a] be strong. ¹⁴ Do everything in love.^(B)

¹⁵ Brothers and sisters, you know the household of Stephanas: They are the firstfruits^(C) of Achaia^(D) and have devoted themselves to serving the saints. I urge you ¹⁶ also to submit to such people, and to everyone who works and labors with them. ¹⁷ I am delighted to have Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus present, because these men have made up for your absence. ¹⁸ For they have refreshed my spirit^(E) and yours. Therefore recognize^(F) such people.

Conclusion

¹⁹ The churches of Asia^(G) send you greetings.^(H) Aquila and Priscilla^(I) send you greetings warmly in the Lord, along with the church that meets in their home.^{(J) 20} All the brothers and sisters send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.^(K)

²¹ This greeting is in my own hand^(L)—Paul. ²² If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse be on him. Our Lord, come!^{[b] 23} The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.^{(M) 24} My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
