16:15 Now, brothers and sisters, 1 you know about the household of Stephanus, that as the first converts 2 of Achaia, they devoted themselves to ministry for the saints. I urge you 16:16 also to submit to people like this, and to everyone who cooperates in the work and labors hard. 16:17 I was glad about the arrival of Stephanus, Fortunatus, and Achaicus because they have supplied the fellowship with you that I lacked. 3 16:18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. So then, recognize people like this.
