1 Corinthians 16:10-24
English Standard Version
10 (A)When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for (B)he is doing (C)the work of the Lord, as I am. 11 So (D)let no one despise him. (E)Help him on his way (F)in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
Final Instructions
12 Now concerning (G)our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will[a] to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.
13 (H)Be watchful, (I)stand firm in the faith, (J)act like men, (K)be strong. 14 (L)Let all that you do be done in love.
15 Now I urge you, brothers[b]—you know that (M)the household[c] of Stephanas were (N)the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves (O)to the service of the saints— 16 (P)be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. 17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for (Q)your absence, 18 for they (R)refreshed my spirit as well as yours. (S)Give recognition to such people.
Greetings
19 The churches of Asia send you greetings. (T)Aquila and Prisca, together with (U)the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. 20 All the brothers send you greetings. (V)Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 I, Paul, write (W)this greeting with my own hand. 22 If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be (X)accursed. Our Lord, come![d] 23 (Y)The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
