15 Now brethren, I beseech you (ye know the house of [a]Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have [b]given themselves to minister unto the Saints.)
16 That ye be [c]obedient even unto such, and to all that help with us and labor.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for they have supplied the want of you.
