11 - At the time, correction seems painful and not at all pleasant, but later its training yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. 12 Therefore lift the drooping hands! Strengthen the weak knees! 13 And make straight paths for your feet! So that what is lame may not be put out of use but instead will be healed.

     14 Strive for peace with everyone, and strive for holiness [hagiasmós - noun derived from hágios - holy, sanctification - the process of advancing in holiness, being progressively transformed by the Lord into His likeness and similarity of nature] without which no one perceives the LORD.

1 Corinthians 16 15-24

12/15 ~ From New Testament Letters

  🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)

15 - Now I bring to your attention the household of Stephanas. They were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints/believers [hagios - sacred, set apart] {(ones) here believers/they are different}. 16 Be listeners to such as these, and to all fellow workers and laborers. 17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence, 18 and they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Show recognition and appreciation to such ones.

     19 The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca (scriptural trivia - Priscilla, later Paul begins to name her first) together with the church that meets in their house, send to you hearty greetings in the Lord. 20 All the brothers send you greeting. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

     21 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. 22 If anyone {with us? actually} has no love for the Lord, they are accursed. Our Lord, come! [Only Truth shall endure/remain standing]. 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
