1 Corinthians 16:10-12 . Now if In the mean time; Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear Of any one’s despising him for his youth. Encourage him in his labours; for he worketh the work of the Lord The true ground of reverence and love to pastors: those who do so, none ought to despise or discourage; but conduct him forth Bring him forward on his journey; in peace And do all that you can to make it commodious and agreeable to him; that he may come unto me At... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:5-24

Personal notes and farewell (16:5-24)Paul’s plan is to visit Macedonia and then move south to Corinth. He realizes that the church in Corinth needs further help, so when he comes he wants to spend some time there (5-7). He is not sure when he will make this visit, as he currently has much urgent work to do in Ephesus (8-9).When Timothy arrives in Corinth (cf. Acts 19:22), the Christians are not to treat him with any less respect than they would Paul, for Timothy and he are doing the same work.... read more

As touching = Now concerning ( App-104 .) desired = exhorted. App-134 . to = in order that (Greek. hina) he should. will . App-102 . at this time = now. have convenient time = have leisure. Greek. eukaireo. See Acts 17:21 . So far from being jealous of the popularity of Apollos (1 Corinthians 1:12 ). Paul urges him to visit Corinth. To him God's glory was the one object to be sought (1 Corinthians 3:5-7 . Philippians 1:1 , Philippians 1:18 ). read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:12

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.This verse is significant in showing that Paul and Apollos were on friendly terms with each other and that neither Paul nor Apollos was in any manner responsible for the ugly factions that had grown up around their names at Corinth. Paul's desire that Apollos should go to Corinth might have been prompted by the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:12

1 Corinthians 16:12. Our brother— There are few, perhaps, who need be told, yet it may be convenient, once for all, to remark, that, in the Apostle's time, brother was the ordinary appellation which Christians used one to another. The brethren here mentioned seem to be Stephanas and those others who came with a message, or letter, to St. Paul from the church of Corinth, by whom he returned this epistle in answer. See Acts 11:26. read more

12. Apollos, I greatly desired . . . to come unto you—He says this lest they should suspect that he from jealousy prevented Apollos' coming to them; perhaps they had expressly requested Apollos to be sent to them. Apollos was not at Ephesus when Paul wrote (compare 1 Corinthians 16:19; 1 Corinthians 1:1). Probably Apollos' unwillingness to go to Corinth at this time was because, being aware of the undue admiration of his rhetorical style which led astray many at Corinth, he did not wish to... read more

G. The collection for the Jerusalem believers 16:1-12I have chosen to include this section with the others that deal with questions the Corinthians had asked Paul rather than with Paul’s concluding comments because it begins "peri de" (1 Corinthians 7:1; 1 Corinthians 7:25; 1 Corinthians 8:1; 1 Corinthians 12:1; 1 Corinthians 16:12; cf. 1 Corinthians 8:4). Probably they had asked about the collection Paul was assembling in a letter or through messengers. This is the least confrontational... read more

2. The travel plans of Paul and his fellow apostles 16:5-12As the preceding verse revealed, Paul’s plans were tentative to some extent. He wanted the Corinthians to know that he anticipated a return to Corinth and hopefully a stay of several months. Timothy and Apollos might return too. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 16:12

This verse may contain Paul’s final response to the questions the Corinthians had asked him. It is the sixth instance of that key phrase peri de ("Now concerning"). Paul’s relations with eloquent Apollos were perfectly friendly, as this verse reveals (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:12). We do not know why Apollos did not want to revisit Corinth with Timothy or whether he ever did visit that city again. read more
