Exegesis
The perfect verb oidate {οἴδατε | oî-da-te} ‘you know’ presumes shared awareness of the accusative object tēn oikian Stephana {τὴν οἰκίαν Στεφανᾶ | tḗn oi-kí-an Ste-pha-nâ}, indicating the family unit led by Stephanas.
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.
