And I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived [here in Ephesus], for they have provided [me] with what you were not able to.
(Oh, yes, I also immersed the family of Stephanas. Besides these, I do not remember immersing anyone else).
And when I was there with you and in need, I was not a [financial] burden to anyone, for when the brothers came from Macedonia they provided me with what I lacked, so I kept myself from being a burden to you in every way and will continue to do so.
But God, who comforts downhearted people, comforted us [also] by the arrival of Titus.
because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to provide me with what you were not able to.
I really wanted to keep him [here] with me so that, on your behalf, he could minister to me while in prison for the sake of the Gospel.
