1 Corinthians 16:15-18
New American Standard Bible
15 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters: you know the (A)household of Stephanas, that [a]they are the (B)first fruits of (C)Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to (D)ministry to (E)the [b]saints; 16 I urge that (F)you also be subject to such as these and to everyone who helps in the work and labors. 17 I rejoice over the [c](G)coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because they have [d]supplied (H)what was lacking on your part. 18 For they (I)have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore (J)acknowledge such men.

15 Now, brothers and sisters,[a] you know about the household of Stephanus, that as the first converts[b] of Achaia, they devoted themselves to ministry for the saints. I urge you 16 also to submit to people like this, and to everyone who cooperates in the work and labors hard. 17 I was glad about the arrival of Stephanus, Fortunatus, and Achaicus because they have supplied the fellowship with you that I lacked.[c] 18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours.
