Now when I came to Troas for the publication of the glad tidings of the Christ, a door also being opened to me in the Lord,

I had no rest in my spirit at not finding Titus my brother; but bidding them adieu, I came away to Macedonia.

For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.

And being present with you and lacking, I did not lazily burden any one, (for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I lacked,) and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep myself.
