1 Corinthians 16:18

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.

18 ^aFor they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore ^backnowledge such men.

Greetings and a Solemn Farewell

19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, ^awith the church that is in their house.

20 All the brethren greet you. ^aGreet one another with a holy kiss.

1 Corinthians 16:18

They have refreshed my spirit and yours - They have been a means of contributing greatly to my comfort; and what contributes to my comfort must increase yours. This is probably the meaning of the apostle.

Therefore acknowledge ye them - Pay them particular respect, and let all be held in esteem in proportion to their work and usefulness. When this is made the rule of respect and esteem, then foolish and capricious attachments will have no place. A man will then be honored in proportion to his merit; and his merit will be estimated by his usefulness among men.
