1 Corinthians 16:18

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such men.

See the chapter Copy

Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest is a faithful messenger to those who send him, he refreshes the spirit of his masters.

Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.

Therefore we are comforted. And besides our own comfort we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his mind has been set at rest by you all.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts,

But we beseech you, brethren, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.

For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.

Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith.

No greater joy can I have than this, to hear that my children follow the truth.
