14. Let everything you do be done in love (true love to God and man as inspired by God's love for us).
15. Now, brethren, you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts and our firstfruits in Achaia (most of Greece), and how they have consecrated and devoted themselves to the service of the saints (God's people).
16. I urge you to pay all deference to such leaders and to enlist under them and be subject to them, as well as to everyone who joins and cooperates [with you] and labors earnestly.
17. I am happy because Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus have come [to me], for they have made up for your absence.
18. For they gave me respite from labor and rested me and refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Deeply appreciate and thoroughly know and fully recognize such men.
19. The churches of Asia send greetings and best wishes. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church [that meets] in their house, send you their hearty greetings in the Lord.
20. All the brethren wish to be remembered to you and wish you well. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
