10 ^sWhen Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for ^the is doing ^uthe work of the Lord, as I am. 11 So ^vlet no one despise him. ^wHelp him on his way ^xin peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.

12 Now concerning ^your brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will¹ to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

13 ^zBe watchful, ^astand firm in the faith, ^bact like men, ^cbe strong. 14 ^dLet all that you do be done in love.

15 Now I urge you, brothers²—you know that ^ethe household³ of Stephanas were ^fthe first converts⁴ in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves ^gto the service of the saints— 16 ^hbe subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. 17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for ⁱyour absence, 18 for they ^jrefreshed my spirit as well as yours. ^kGive recognition to such people.
