1 Corinthians 16:12-16

Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly encouraged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has the opportunity.

Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

All that you do must be done in love.

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters: you know the household of Stephanas, that they are the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to ministry to the saints;

I urge that you also be subject to such as these and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
