4. And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
5. Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
6. And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that all of you may bring me on my journey anywhere I go.

18. For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore acknowledge all of you them that are such.
