But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now but he will come when he has a chance.

13

Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.

14

Let all you do be done in love.

15

Now I make my request to you, my brothers, for you have knowledge that the house of Stephanas is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have made themselves the servants of the saints,

16

That you put yourselves under such, and under everyone who is helping the Lord's work.

17

And I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for they have done what was needed to make your work complete.

18

For they gave comfort to my spirit and to yours: for which cause give respect to such people.
