Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:5
But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia.This evidently indicates a change in Paul's plans to visit Corinth; because in 2 Corinthians 1:15ff, there seems to be a critical attitude accusing the apostle of vacillating; but his postponement of his visit was founded in the highest wisdom. He would give them a little time to get their house in order before he came. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:6
But with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I go.The intention of spending some time at Corinth was fulfilled. "This he afterward found himself able to do" (Acts 20:2,3).[20]Set me forward on my journey ... This is not a hint that he would expect to receive traveling expenses, rather having reference to the custom of the Christians accompanying departing guests for some distance at the time of their leaving, as in Acts 15:3;... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:7
For I do not wish to see you now by the way; for I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost; for a great and effectual door is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.I do not wish to see you ... The reason given was that he desired a longer visit than was possible at present; but this was also related to the deplorable conditions at Corinth. A short visit would not give sufficient time for working out all of the problems; besides,... read more

5-7. His first intention had been (2 Corinthians 1:15; 2 Corinthians 1:16) to pass through them (Corinth) to Macedonia, and again return to them from Macedonia, and so to Judea; this he had announced in the lost epistle (1 Corinthians 5:9); now having laid aside this intention (for which he was charged with levity, 1 Corinthians 5:9- :, c., whereas it was through lenity, 2 Corinthians 1:23 2 Corinthians 2:1), he announces his second plan of "not seeing them now by the way," but "passing through... read more

6. He did "abide and even winter" for the three WINTER months in Greece (Corinth), Acts 20:3; Acts 20:6; from which passage it seems that Paul probably left Corinth about a month before the "days of unleavened bread" or the Passover (so as to allow time to touch at Thessalonica and Berea, from which cities two of his companions were; as we read he did at Philippi); so that thus the three months at Corinth would be December, January, and February [BIRKS, Horæ Apostolicæ]. ye—emphatical in the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:5-24
Personal notes and farewell (16:5-24)Paul’s plan is to visit Macedonia and then move south to Corinth. He realizes that the church in Corinth needs further help, so when he comes he wants to spend some time there (5-7). He is not sure when he will make this visit, as he currently has much urgent work to do in Ephesus (8-9).When Timothy arrives in Corinth (cf. Acts 19:22), the Christians are not to treat him with any less respect than they would Paul, for Timothy and he are doing the same work.... read more
