1 Corinthians 16:6-7
(6) And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
(7) For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
16:6-7. On that journey (cf. Acts 19:21) Paul hoped to be able to spend some time with the Corinthians, possibly as long as the winter since travel by sea in that season was ill-advised (cf. Acts 27:9-44). This, in fact, he eventually did (see the Introduction) but not on the schedule here set forth. This change of plans became a source of trouble for him with the Corinthians later (cf. 2 Cor. 1:15-2:1). What Paul meant by the words you can help me on my journey is clarified later (1 Cor. 16:11). He desired that his departure be marked by “peace,” which would be in keeping with the Lord’s will (cf. James 4:15).
