1 Corinthians 16:15-18
Wycliffe Bible
15 And, brethren, I beseech you, ye know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for they be the first fruits of Achaia, and into ministry of saints they have ordained themselves;
16 that also ye be subjects to such, and to each working together and travailing.
17 For I have joy in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they filled that thing that failed to you [for they full-filled that thing that failed to you];
18 for they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Therefore know ye them, that be such manner men.

15 Now brethren, I beseech you (ye know the house of [a]Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have [b]given themselves to minister unto the Saints.)
16 That ye be [c]obedient even unto such, and to all that help with us and labor.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for they have supplied the want of you.
18 For they have comforted my [d]spirit and yours: [e]acknowledge therefore such men.
