Commentary on 2 Corinthians 1:16

Theological / Devotional

Brought on ... way. Gr. propempo, “to send forward,” “to accompany,” “to escort.” Propempo is variously translated in Acts 15:3; 20:38; 21:5; Rom. 15:24; 1 Cor. 16:6, 11. Paul expected representatives of the church at Corinth to escort him, at least part of the way, when he left Corinth for Jerusalem. This would be a further manifestation of their love and respect for an apostle of Christ, their spiritual father. At least some members of the delegation from Corinth would go all the way to Jerusalem, to convey the collection received from that place (see Acts 24:17; 1 Cor. 16:1-4).
