Wycliffe Bible
15 And, brethren, I beseech you, ye know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for they be the first fruits of Achaia, and into ministry of saints they have ordained themselves;
16 that also ye be subjects to such, and to each working together and travailing.
17 For I have joy in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they filled that thing that failed to you [for they full-filled that thing that failed to you];
18 for they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Therefore know ye them, that be such manner men.
