4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
4 If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.
4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.
4 If you think it best that I go along, I'll be glad to travel with them.
4 But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.
4 And if it seems appropriate for me to go along, they can travel with me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 16:4
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 16:1-9
(Read 1 Corinthians 16:1-9)
The good examples of other Christians and churches should rouse us. It is good to lay up in store for good uses. Those who are rich in this world, should be rich in good works, James 4:15. Adversaries and opposition do not break the spirits of faithful and successful ministers, but warm their zeal, and inspire them with fresh courage. A faithful minister is more discouraged by the hardness of his hearers' hearts, and the backslidings of professors, than by the enemies' attempts.
