1 Corinthians 16:17

AchaicusFortunatusStephanas

15 You 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,

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

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

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

19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
