This intention of visiting them on the way to Macedonia, as well as after having passed through it, must have reached the ears of the Corinthians in some way or other--perhaps in the lost Epistle (Co1 4:18; Co1 5:9). The sense comes out more clearly in the Greek order, "By you to pass into Macedonia, and from Macedonia to come again unto you." |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And to pass by you - Through δι ̓ di' you; that is, through your city, or province; or to take them, as we say, in his way. His design was to pass through Corinth and Achaia on his journey. This was not the direct way from Ephesus to Macedonia. An inspection of a map will show at one view that the direct way was that which he concluded finally to take - that by Troas. Yet he had designed to go out of his way in order to make them a visit; and intended also, perhaps, to make them also a longer visit on his return. The former part of the plan he had been induced to abandon.
Into Macedonia - A part of Greece having Thrace on the north, Thessaly south, Epirus west and the AEgean Sea east; see the note, Act 16:9.
And of you to be brought on my way - By you; see the note, Co1 16:6.
Toward Judea - His object in going to Judea was to convey the collection for the poor saints which he had been at so much pains to collect throughout the churches of the Gentiles; see the notes, Rom 15:25-26; compare Co1 16:3-4. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
To pass by you into Macedonia - He had purposed to go to Macedonia first, and then from Macedonia return to them, and probably winter in Corinth. Therefore we must understand the δι' ὑμων, by you, as implying that he would sail up the Aegean Sea, leaving Corinth to the west; though he might have taken it in his way, and have gone by land through Greece up to Macedonia. Some think that the meaning is, that he purposed to take Achaia in his way to Macedonia, without calling at Corinth; but Achaia was out of his way considerably, and he could scarcely go through Achaia without passing close by Corinth. I consider the words, therefore, as implying that he purposed not to call at Corinth at that time, but to pass by it, as before stated. |
9 I wrote [1125] unto you [5213] in [1722] an epistle [1992] not [3361] to company [4874] with fornicators [4205]:
18 Now [1161] some [5100] are puffed up [5448], as though [5613] I [3450] would [2064] not [3361] come [2064] to [4314] you [5209].
3 And [1161] when [3752] I come [3854], whomsoever [3739] [1437] ye shall approve [1381] by [1223] your letters [1992], them [5128] will I send [3992] to bring [667] your [5216] liberality [5485] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419].
4 And [1161] if [1437] it be [5600] meet [514] that I go [4198] also [2504], they shall go [4198] with [4862] me [1698].
25 But [1161] now [3570] I go [4198] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419] to minister [1247] unto the saints [40].
26 For [1063] it hath pleased them [2106] of Macedonia [3109] and [2532] Achaia [882] to make [4160] a certain [5100] contribution [2842] for [1519] the poor [4434] saints [40] which [3588] are at [1722] Jerusalem [2419].
6 And [1161] it may be [5177] that I will abide [3887], yea [2228], and [2532] winter [3914] with [4314] you [5209], that [2443] ye [5210] may bring [4311] me [3165] on my journey [4311] whithersoever [3757] [1437] I go [4198].
9 And [2532] a vision [3705] appeared [3700] to Paul [3972] in [1223] the night [3571]; There stood [2258] [2476] a man [5100] [435] of Macedonia [3110], and prayed [3870] him [846], [2532] saying [3004], Come over [1224] into [1519] Macedonia [3109], and help [997] us [2254].
