1 Corinthians 16:10-11
(10) Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
(11) Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
16:10-11. In the meantime Paul intended to send his beloved assistant Timothy to Corinth. The younger man sometimes traveled in Paul’s place (cf. Phil. 2:19-24). That Timothy might have cause to fear while ministering in Corinth confirms, as this letter indicates, that working with the Corinthian church was no picnic. However, it probably says more about the character of Timothy, a man devoted to Christ (Phil. 2:19-21) but lacking Paul’s robust boldness (cf. 1 Tim. 4:12; 2 Tim. 1:7-8; 2:1).
The identity of the brothers accompanying Timothy is not clear. It appears that Timothy went out from Ephesus with Erastus (Acts 19:22). They may have been joined by some of the men who later composed Paul’s traveling party for delivering the collection (Acts 20:4).
