1 Corinthians 16:15-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ You know that the family of Stephanas was the first family to be won ⌞for Christ⌟ in Greece. This family has devoted itself to serving God’s people. So I encourage you, brothers and sisters, ¹⁶ to follow the example of people like these and anyone else who shares their labor and hard work. ¹⁷ I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus came here. They have made up for your absence. ¹⁸ They have comforted me, and they have comforted you. Therefore, show people like these your appreciation.
