1 Corinthians 16:9-19
English Standard Version
10When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am.
11So let no one despise him. Help him on his way in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
13Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
14Let all that you do be done in love.
15Now I urge you, brothers — you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints —
16be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
17I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence,
18for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such people.
