10. If Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear from you, because he is doing the Lord’s work, just as I am.
11. Therefore, no one should look down on him. Send him on his way in peace so he can come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
12. About our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but he was not at all willing to come now. However, he will come when he has an opportunity.
13. Be alert, stand firm in the faith, act like a man, be strong.
14. Your every action must be done with love.
15. Brothers, you know the household of Stephanas: They are the firstfruits of Achaia and have devoted themselves to serving the saints. I urge you
16. also to submit to such people, and to everyone who works and labors with them.
17. I am pleased to have Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus present, because these men have made up for your absence.
18. For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore recognize such people.
19. The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, along with the church that meets in their home.
20. All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21. This greeting is in my own hand — Paul.
