I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
(I also immersed the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don't know whether I immersed any other.)
When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn't a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
because for the work of Messiah he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
