I rejoiceoverthe comingof Stephanasand Fortunatusand Achaicus,becausethey have suppliedwhat was lackingon your part.
NowI did baptizealsothe householdof Stephanas;beyondthat, I do not knowwhetherI baptizedanyother.
and when I was presentwith you and was in need,I was not a burdento anyone;for when the brethrencamefrom Macedoniathey fully suppliedmy need,and in everythingI keptmyselffrom being a burdento you, and will continueto do so.
But God,who comfortsthe depressed,comfortedus by the comingof Titus;
becausehe came closeto deathfor the workof Christ,riskinghis lifeto completewhat was deficientin your serviceto me.
whomI wishedto keepwith me, sothat on your behalfhe might ministerto me in my imprisonmentfor the gospel;
