Be proud that you have people like this among you. The churches here in western Asia send greetings. Aquila, Priscilla, and the church that meets in their house say hello. All the friends here say hello. Pass the greetings around with holy hugs! And I, Paul—in my own handwriting!—send you my regards. If anyone won’t love the Master, throw him out. Make room for the Master! Our Master Jesus has his arms wide open for you. And I love all of you in the Messiah, in Jesus.

1 Corinthians 16:12-24 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Now, about our brother Apollos. I’ve tried hard to convince him to come visit you with the other brothers, but it’s simply not the right time for him now. But don’t worry, he’ll come when he has the opportunity. Remember to stay alert and hold firmly to all that you believe. Be mighty and full of courage. Let love and kindness be the motivation behind all that you do. Dear brothers and sisters, I have a request to make of you. Give special recognition to Stephanas and his family, for they were the first converts in Achaia, and they have fully devoted themselves to serve God’s holy people. I urge you to honor and support them, and all those like them who work so diligently for the Lord.
