That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.

that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboreth.

That you also be subject to such, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboureth.

that ye should also be subject to such, and to every one joined in the work and labouring.

that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboureth.

That ye submit yourselves to such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboreth.

that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with us and labouring;

That you submit yourselves to such, and to every one that helps with us, and labors.

I beseech you, on your part, to show deference to such men, and to every one who participates in their work and toils hard.

That you put yourselves under such, and under everyone who is helping the Lord's work.

So you should be subject also to persons such as this, as well as to all who are cooperating and working with them.

I want you, on your part, to show deference to such people as these, as well as to every fellow laborer and earnest worker.

That ye submit yourselves - The word used here means evidently that you would show them proper deference and regard; that you would treat them with distinguished respect and honor for what they have done.
And to everyone that helpeth with us - Everyone who aids us in the ministry, or provides for our needs, etc. It is possible that Stephanas lived among them at this time (Note, 1-Corinthians 1:16), though he had been converted in Achaia; and it is probable that, as Corinth was a central place and a thoroughfare, others might come among them who were the personal friends of Paul, and who had aided him in the ministry. Towards all such he bespeaks their kind, and tender, and respectful regards.

That ye submit yourselves unto such - That ye have due regard to them, and consider them as especial instruments in the hand of God for countenancing and carrying on his great work. The submission here recommended does not imply obedience, but kind and courteous demeanour. Kypke vindicates this sense of the word from Ephesians 5:21; 1-Peter 5:5.

That ye (i) submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with [us], and laboureth.
(i) That you honour and revere them, be obedient to them, and be content to be ruled by them, as you properly should, seeing that they have bestowed themselves and their goods, and this to help you with them.

That ye submit yourselves to such,.... To persons of such a character, and in such an office; if in ministering to poor saints, by assisting them, and by putting into their hands; and putting it in their power to discharge their work fully, in which they were so heartily concerned; and if in the work of the ministry of the word, by attending their ministrations, receiving the truths delivered by them with faith and love, so far as they appeared to be agreeably to the word of God; hearkening to their admonitions, counsels and advice, regarding their censures and reproofs by the authority of the church, and in their name, and by subjection to the laws of Christ's house, as put in execution by them, see Hebrews 13:17,
and to everyone that helpeth with us; in any form, whether by relieving the poor, or by preaching the Gospel:
and laboureth; in the Lord's vineyard, in the word and doctrine, for the good of souls, and the glory of Christ: for such are worthy of double honour, and ought to be valued and esteemed for their works' sake, and submitted to in everything that is according to the rules of the Gospel.

That ye--Translate, "That ye also," namely, in your turn . . . in return for their self-devotion [ALFORD].
helpeth with--them.
laboureth--by himself.

That ye also - In your turn. Submit to such - So repaying their free service. And to every one that worketh with us and laboureth - That labours in the gospel either with or without a fellow - labourer.
