5 But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia.

6 But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that ye may set me forward wheresoever I may go.

10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, even as I.

Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do:

11 Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

let no man therefore despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren.

12 Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all [his] will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity.

But as touching Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come unto you with the brethren: and it was not at all [his] will to come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.

15 But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service, )

Now I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),

16 that ye should also be subject to such, and to every one joined in the work and labouring.

that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboureth.

17 But I rejoice in the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they supplied.

18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: own therefore such.

For they refreshed my spirit and yours: acknowledge ye therefore them that are such.
