in his relations with you; for he is engaged in the Master's
work just as I am.
016:011 Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help
him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him
and others of the brethren.
016:012 As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged
him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you:
but he is quite resolved not to do so at present.
He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.
016:013 Be on the alert; stand firm in the faith; acquit yourselves
like men; be strong.
016:014 Let all that you do be done from motives of love.
016:015 And I beseech you, brethren--you know the household of Stephanas,
how they were the earliest Greek converts to Christ,
and have devoted themselves to the service of God's people--
016:016 I beseech you, on your part, to show deference to such men,
and to every one who participates in their work and toils hard.
016:017 It is a joy to me that Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus
have now arrived, because what was wanting so far as you
are concerned they have supplied.
016:018 They have refreshed my spirit, and yours. Acknowledge such
men as these.
016:019 The Churches in the province of Asia send you greetings;
and Aquila and Prisca, in hearty Christian love, do the same,
together with the Church which meets at their house.
016:020 The brethren all send greetings to you. Greet one another
with a holy kiss.
016:021 The final greeting of me--Paul--with my own hand.
016:022 If any one is destitute of love to the Lord, let him be accursed.
OUR LORD IS COMING.
