1 Corinthians 16:13 - Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)

1 Corinthians 16:13

11 ^aTherefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey ^bin peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.

12 Now concerning our brother ^aApollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.

Final Exhortations

13 ^aWatch, ^bstand fast in the faith, be brave, ^cbe strong.

14 ^aLet all that you do be done with love.

15 I urge you, brethren—you know ^athe household of Stephanas, that it is ^bthe firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to ^cthe ministry of the saints—

16 ^athat you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and ^blabors with us.

17 I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, ^afor what was lacking on your part they supplied.
