The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Corinthians 16:5-12

Paul's proposed visit to Corinth: v. 5. Now I will come unto you when I shall pass through Macedonia; for I do pass through Macedonia. v. 6. And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. v. 7.

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

1 Corinthians STRONG AND LOVING 1Co_16:13 - 1Co_16:14 . There is a singular contrast between the first four of these exhortations and the last. The former ring sharp and short like pistol-shots; the last is of gentler mould. The former sound like the word of command shouted from an officer along the ranks; and there is a military metaphor running all through them. The foe threatens to advance; let the guards keep their eyes open. He comes nearer; prepare for the charge, stand firm in your... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 1 Corinthians 16:21-24

1 Corinthians ANATHEMA AND GRACE 1Co_16:21 - 1Co_16:24 . Terror and tenderness are strangely mingled in this parting salutation, which was added in the great characters shaped by Paul’s own hand, to the letter written by an amanuensis. He has been obliged, throughout the whole epistle, to assume a tone of remonstrance abundantly mingled with irony and sarcasm and indignation. He has had to rebuke the Corinthians for many faults, party spirit, lax morality, toleration of foul sins, grave... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:1-12

Systematic Beneficence 1 Corinthians 16:1-12 It is remarkable that the Apostle can turn from one of his sublimest flights of sacred eloquence to deal with so ordinary a matter as the collection. But, after all, there is no incongruity. The thoughts to which he has given expression should surely lead to some tangible response of Christian duty and activity, or they would injure rather than help. Nothing is more injurious to the Christian conscience than trumpet-sounding which leads to no... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:13-24

Exhortations and Salutations 1 Corinthians 16:13-24 The Apostle was careful to cultivate friendship, one of the priceless gifts of God; and he was very generous not only in his references to his friends, but also in his dealings with them. Because Timothy was deficient in virile strength, Paul was always contriving to make his way easier; and though Apollos had drawn away some of his converts, the Apostle was desirous for him to visit Corinth again. Nor could he forget the household which... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24

The last chapter of the epistle is local and personal. In the first sentences important principles are revealed as to the true method of Christian giving. It is to be regular and systematic rather than occasional and spasmodic. It is to be personal and alone, for laying by in store does not mean placing in a collection basket in a meeting, but privately apportioning and guarding. There follow references full of suggestive beauty to Timothy, and Apollos, and injunctions which are epigrammatic... read more
