1 Corinthians 16:17 - People's Commentary (NT)

1 Corinthians 16:17

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.

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 16:17

I Corinthians 16:17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas. Stephanas is named in I Corinthians 1:16 16:15. And Fortunatus, and Achaicus. The other two are not named elsewhere. These three doubtless brought to Paul the letter referred to in I Corinthians 7:1 and probably carried back the present letter.
