¹⁷ I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, ^(A)for what was lacking on your part they supplied.

³⁰ because for the work of Christ he came close to death, ^[a]not regarding his life, ^(A)to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.

⁹ And when I was present with you, and in need, ^(A)I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked ^(B)the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

¹³ whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel.
