¹⁵ You know that the household of Stephanas^(A) were the first converts^(B) in Achaia,^(C) and they have devoted themselves to the service^(D) of the Lord’s people.^(E) I urge you, brothers and sisters, ¹⁶ to submit^(F) to such people and to everyone who joins in the work and labors at it. ¹⁷ I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.^{(G) 18} For they refreshed^(H) my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.^(I)
