1 Corinthians 16:16

And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.

Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.

Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
