17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for ⁱyour absence,

15 And you Philippians yourselves know that ^fin the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, ^gno church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again.
