1 Corinthians 16:17-18
(17) I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
(18) For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
16:17-18. By their very presence, three men from the Corinthian church— Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus— were able to refresh and encourage Paul despite the fact that they probably also brought confirmation of the bad news earlier reported by Chloe’s people (1:11). These men were the probable bearers of the letter to which Paul had responded (7:1 et al.).
