A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
refreshed my spirit and yours--"yours" will be refreshed on receiving this letter, by knowing that "my spirit is refreshed" by their having come to me from you; and (perhaps) by the good report they gave of many of you (Co1 1:4-8); my refreshment of spirit redounds to yours, as being my disciples (Co2 7:13; compare Zac 6:8).

acknowledge--render them due acknowledgments by a kind reception of them: Th1 5:12, "know" them in their true worth and treat them accordingly.

8 Then cried [02199] he upon [0853] me, and spake [01696] unto me, saying [0559], Behold [07200], these that go [03318] toward the north [06828] country [0776] have quieted [05117] my spirit [07307] in the north [06828] country [0776].
13 Therefore [1223] [5124] we were comforted [3870] in [1909] your [5216] comfort [3874]: yea, and [1161] exceedingly [4056] the more [3123] joyed we [5463] for [1909] the joy [5479] of Titus [5103], because [3754] his [846] spirit [4151] was refreshed [373] by [575] you [5216] all [3956].
4 I thank [2168] my [3450] God [2316] always [3842] on [4012] your [5216] behalf [4012], for [1909] the grace [5485] of God [2316] which [3588] is given [1325] you [5213] by [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547];
5 That [3754] in [1722] every thing [3956] ye are enriched [4148] by [1722] him [846], in [1722] all [3956] utterance [3056], and [2532] in all [3956] knowledge [1108];
6 Even as [2531] the testimony [3142] of Christ [5547] was confirmed [950] in [1722] you [5213]:
7 So that [5620] ye [5209] come behind [5302] in [1722] no [3361] [3367] gift [5486]; waiting for [553] the coming [602] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
8 Who [3739] shall [950] also [2532] confirm [950] you [5209] unto [2193] the end [5056], that ye may be blameless [410] in [1722] the day [2250] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
15 [1161] I beseech [3870] you [5209], brethren [80], (ye know [1492] the house [3614] of Stephanas [4734], that [3754] it is [2076] the firstfruits [536] of Achaia [882], and [2532] that they have addicted [5021] themselves [1438] to [1519] the ministry [1248] of the saints [40],)
16 [2532] That [2443] ye [5210] submit yourselves [5293] unto such [5108], and [2532] to every one [3956] that helpeth [4903] with us, and [2532] laboureth [2872].
