Commentary on 1 Corinthians 16:4

Theological / Devotional

Meet. Gr. axios, “worthy,” “suitable,” “worth while.” If the amount to be transferred warranted his presence, or if it was thought that it would be wiser for him to accompany the messengers, Paul was willing to journey to Jerusalem in order to ensure that there would be no question or suspicion concerning the offering sent by the church at Corinth. This is an illustration of his extreme care to avoid giving any cause for misunderstanding or offense (cf. Rom. 14:13, 16, 21; 1 Cor. 8:9, 13).
