Brothers, you know that the household of Stephanas is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to serving the saints. I urge you
But Timothy has now come back to us from you and has brought us good news of your faith and love. He reports that you always have good memories of us, longing to see us, just as we also long to see you.
We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly increasing and the love that every one of you has for one another is abounding.
