17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because ^ethey have made up for your absence,

9 And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for ^cthe brothers who came from Macedonia ^dsupplied my need. So ^eI refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.

13 I would have been glad to keep him with me, ⁿin order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel,
