13 Stay alert and stay grounded in the faith. Be strong and courageous. 14 Everything you do, do in love.

15 Now brothers and sisters, you all know that Stephanas’ family were the first ones in Achaia to believe, and since then they’ve devoted themselves to serving the believers, so I urge you all[ref] 16 to submit yourselves to people like them, in fact to everyone who works and cooperates.

17 I’m pleased that Stefanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus came because they’ve given what you all couldn’t, 18 because they refreshed my spirit and yours also, so you should show appreciation to such people.

19 [ref]The assemblies in the province of Asia Minor send their greetings. 20 All the brothers and sisters here send their greetings.

Greet each other with an innocent kiss.

21 I, Paul, am sending this greeting in my own handwriting.

22 If there’s anyone there who doesn’t love the master, let him be cursed.

Come, master!

23 May the grace from our master Yeshua be with all of you.

24 My love to all of you in Messiah Yeshua. May it be so.
