15. I have a thing to ask you, I beg you to remember the work Stephanas has done, the first of those who came into the faith in Achaia. He and his household have constantly ministered to those who are in the faith.
16. They have set themselves to that task and it was a joy to me that they came here.

19. Greetings are sent to you with this from the churches of Asia, from Aquila and his wife, Priscilla, and the church which assembles in their house.
20. All the brethren salute you. Salute one another, brethren, with a holy kiss.
21. I now sign this letter with my own hand — Paul — and I subscribe these words.
22. Let him that loves not the Lord be anathema, MARAN ATHA.
23. See, I have written it with my own hand.
