12. and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.
13. Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;
14. let all your things be done in love.
15. And I entreat you, brethren, ye have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and to the ministration to the saints they did set themselves--
16. that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with [us] and labouring;
17. and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up;
18. for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye, therefore, those who [are] such.
