⁵ Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

¹⁵ Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

² And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:

¹⁹ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

¹⁵ I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

⁴ These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

¹ The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

¹⁸ Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

² For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
