哥林多前书16:13-18
13你们务要儆醒，在真道上站立得稳，要作大丈夫，要刚强。14凡你们所作的，都要凭爱心而作。15弟兄们，你们晓得司提反一家，是亚该亚初结的果子。并且他们专以服侍圣徒为念。16我劝你们顺服这样的人，并一切同工同劳的人。17司提反，和福徒拿都，并亚该古，到这里来，我很喜欢。因为你们待我有不及之处，他们补上了。18他们叫我和你们心里都快活。这样的人，你们务要敬重。
13Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous.#16:13 Greek Be men. Be strong. 14And do everything with love. 15You know that Stephanas and his household were the first of the harvest of believers in Greece,#16:15a Greek in Achaia, the southern region of the Greek peninsula. and they are spending their lives in service to God’s people. I urge you, dear brothers and sisters,#16:15b Greek brothers; also in 16:20. 16to submit to them and others like them who serve with such devotion. 17I am very glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come here. They have been providing the help you weren’t here to give me. 18They have been a wonderful encouragement to me, as they have been to you. You must show your appreciation to all who serve so well.
