12But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.
13Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.
15Now I make my request to you, my brothers, for you have knowledge that the house of Stephanas is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have made themselves the servants of the saints,
16That you put yourselves under such, and under everyone who is helping the Lord's work.
17And I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for they have done what was needed to make your work complete.
18For they gave comfort to my spirit and to yours: for which cause give respect to such people.
