1 Corinthians 16:15-18
New Living Translation
15 You know that Stephanas and his household were the first of the harvest of believers in Greece,[a] and they are spending their lives in service to God’s people. I urge you, dear brothers and sisters,[b] 16 to submit to them and others like them who serve with such devotion. 17 I am very glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come here. They have been providing the help you weren’t here to give me. 18 They have been a wonderful encouragement to me, as they have been to you. You must show your appreciation to all who serve so well.
