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

30 for he ^pnearly died¹ for the work of Christ, risking his life ^qto complete what was lacking in your service to me.

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,
