Exegesis
The verse begins with parakalō {Παρακαλῶ | pa-ra-ka-lô} ‘I urge’, a first person singular verb introducing Paul’s appeal, followed by the postpositive particle de {δὲ | de}, which links and softly contrasts this exhortation with the wider context.
In context — 1 Corinthians 16:15
Now I appeal to you, brothers : you know that the household of Stephanas is the firstfruit of Achaia and that they have devoted themselves to service for the saints.
