15And I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints,) 16that ye also submit yourselves to such, and to every one that works with us, and labors.

17I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part they supplied. 18For they refreshed my spirit and yours; therefore acknowledge those who are such.

19The churches of Asia salute you.

Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 20All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

21The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand.

22If any one loves not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Maran atha[22]!

23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.


[THE SECOND LETTER OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS.]

I. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia: 2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
