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.

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.
