Commentary on 1 Corinthians 16:11

Theological / Devotional

Despise. Gr. exouthened, “to make of no account,” “to treat with contempt.”

Conduct him forth. That is, provide him with things necessary for the journey.

In peace. That is, with the good will of the Corinthians. Paul hoped that there would be no points of misunderstanding between Timothy and the Corinthian believers.

Look for him. Paul was awaiting word of the condition of affairs in Corinth (see on ch. 4:17). It was doubtless in Macedonia that Timothy met Paul, for he was with Paul when 2 Corinthians was written (see on 2 Cor. 1:1; cf. AA 323).
