15. You know that the family of Stephanas were the first believers in Southern Greece and that 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 anyone else who works and serves with them.
17. I am happy that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come. You are not here, but they have filled your place.
18. They have refreshed my spirit and yours. You should recognize the value of people like these.
19. The churches in Asia send greetings to you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you in the Lord, as does the church that meets in their house.
20. All the brothers and sisters here send greetings. Give each other a holy kiss when you meet.
21. I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand.
22. If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be separated from God—lost forever!Come, O Lord!
23. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24. My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
