Ordered Giving, Open Doors, Faithful Labor, and Final Exhortations in the Lord

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

15You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,

16to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.

17I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.

18For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.
