1 Lachm., Tisch., Tr., W.H., R.V. marg., place the comma after δι’ επισ- τολην, attaching this adjunct to δοκιµασητε: see note below. 2aEvov ῃ: ΝΕΑΒΟΙΜΡ. Socritt. edd., exc. Tisch.

higher matters (cf. Acts vi. 2)—“ tunc alia agens’”’ (Bg.).
Vv. 3, 4. The Cor. are to choose dele- gates to bear their bounty, who will travel to Jerus. with P., if this be deemed fit. Acts xx. 1-4 shows that in the event a large number of representatives of Gen- tile Churches voyaged with P., doubtless on this common errand.—év ἐπιστολῶν may qualify either δοκιµάσητε (Bz., Cv., Est., A.V. and Κ.Υ. txt., Ed.) or πέμψω (R.V. marg., with Gr. Ff., and most moderns). Being chosen by the Cor., the delegates surely must have credentials from them (cf. 2 Cor. iii. 1, and Acts xv., for such letters passing from Church to Church; also 1 Clem. ad Corinth.). At the same time, as P. is directing the whole business, he will ‘‘send’’ the de- puties and introduce them at Jerus. On Soxipalw, see note to iii. 13.—éav δὲ ἄξιον 7 κ.τ.λ., “ But if it be worth while that J should journey too, they shall journey with me””—a hint that P. would only take part in presenting the collec- tion if the character of the aid sent made it creditable; otherwise the delegates must go alone; he will not associate himself with a mean charity. The inf. (in gen. case), τοῦ Kame πορεύεσθαι, de- pends on ἄξιον---'' worthy of my going,”’ ‘si dignum fuerit ut et ego eam”’ (Vg.); it can hardly be softened into ‘if it be tight (seemly on any ground: as in 2 Thess. i. 3, where ἄξιον is unqualified) that I should go” (Ed.)—as though
the Ap. deprecated being obtrusive; he is guarding his self-respect, being scarcely sure of the liberality of the Cor. “ Justa estimatio sui non est superbia”’ (Bg.).
§ 58. VisiTs ΤΟ CORINTH, xvi. 5-12. The arrangements for the Collection have led P. to speak of his approaching visit to Cor., and he explains more definitely his plans in this respect (5-9). Timothy’s coming, though not certain, may be looked for speedily; and the Ap., with some sOlicitude, asks for him considerate treatment (το f.). Apollos is not coming at present, as the Cor. seem to have de- sired and as Paul had urged upon him; he prefers to wait until circumstances are more favourable (12).
