11. So none of you should refuse to accept Timothy. Help him continue on his trip in peace so that he can come back to me. I am expecting him to come back with the other brothers.
12. Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers. He prefers not to come now, but he will come when he has the opportunity.
13. Be careful. Hold firmly to your faith. Have courage and be strong.
14. Do everything in love.
15. You know that Stephanas and his family were the first believers in Achaia. They have given themselves to the service of God’s people. I ask you, brothers and sisters,
16. to follow the leading of people like these and others who work hard and serve together with them.
17. I am happy that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come. You are not here, but they have filled your place.
