12. Concerning Apollos, our brother in the Christian faith: I tried hard to get him to visit you with the other Christians. He didn’t want to at this time. However, he will visit you when he has an opportunity.
13. Be alert. Be firm in the Christian faith. Be courageous and strong.
14. Do everything with love.
15. You know that the family of Stephanas was the first family to be won ⌊for Christ⌋ in Greece. This family has devoted itself to serving God’s people. So I encourage you, brothers and sisters,
16. to follow the example of people like these and anyone else who shares their labor and hard work.
17. I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus came here. They have made up for your absence.
18. They have comforted me, and they have comforted you. Therefore, show people like these your appreciation.
19. The churches in the province of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca and the church that meets in their house send their warmest Christian greetings.
20. All the brothers and sisters ⌊here⌋ greet you. Greet each other with a holy kiss.
21. I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand.
22. If anyone doesn’t love the Lord, let him be cursed! Our Lord, come!
23. May the good will of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24. Through Christ Jesus my love is with all of you.
