Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Corinthians 16:5

5-7. His first intention had been ( 2 Corinthians 1:15 ; 2 Corinthians 1:16 ) to pass through them (Corinth) to Macedonia, and again return to them from Macedonia, and so to Judea; this he had announced in the lost epistle ( 1 Corinthians 5:9 ); now having laid aside this intention (for which he was charged with levity, 1 Corinthians 5:9- : , c., whereas it was through lenity, 2 Corinthians 1:23 2 Corinthians 2:1 ), he announces his second plan of "not seeing them now by the way," but "passing through Macedonia" first on his way to them, and then "tarrying a while," and even "abiding and wintering with them." for I do pass —as much as to say, "This is what I at last resolve upon " (not as the erroneous subscription of the Epistle represents it, as if he was THEN at Philippi, on his way through Macedonia); implying that there had been some previous communication upon the subject of the journey, and also that there had been some indecisiveness in the apostle's plan [PALEY]. In accordance with his second plan, we find him in Macedonia when Second Corinthians was written ( 2 Corinthians 2:13 ; 2 Corinthians 8:1 ; 2 Corinthians 9:2 ; 2 Corinthians 9:4 ), and on his way to Corinth ( 2 Corinthians 12:14 ; 2 Corinthians 13:1 ; compare Acts 20:1 ; Acts 20:2 ). "Pass through" is opposed to "abide" ( Acts 20:2- : ). He was not yet in Macedonia (as Acts 20:2- : shows), but at Ephesus; but he was thinking of passing through it (not abiding as he purposed to do at Corinth). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
