For I expect him ( ekdechomai gar auton ).

Apparently later Timothy had to return to Ephesus without much success before Paul left and was sent on to Macedonia with Erastus (Act 19:22) and Titus sent to Corinth whom Paul then arranged to meet in Troas (2Co 2:12).

Wesley: 1Co 16:11 - -- That accompany him.

That accompany him.

This charge is not given concerning any other of the many messengers whom Paul sent. 1Ti 4:12 accounts for it (compare Psa 119:141). He was a young man, younger probably than those usually employed in the Christian missions; whence Paul apprehending lest he should, on that account, be exposed to contempt, cautions him, "Let no man despise thy youth" [PALEY, Horæ Paulinæ].

JFB: 1Co 16:11 - -- Set him on his way with every mark of respect, and with whatever he needs (Tit 3:13).

Set him on his way with every mark of respect, and with whatever he needs (Tit 3:13).

(Act 15:33; Heb 11:31). "Peace" is the salutation of kindness and respect in the East; and so it stands for every blessing. Perhaps here there is too a contrast between "peace" and the "contentions" prevalent at Corinth (1Co 1:11).

JFB: 1Co 16:11 - -- He and Titus were appointed to meet Paul in Troas, whither the apostle purposed proceeding from Ephesus (2Co 2:12-13). Paul thus claims their respect ...

He and Titus were appointed to meet Paul in Troas, whither the apostle purposed proceeding from Ephesus (2Co 2:12-13). Paul thus claims their respect for Timothy as one whom he felt so necessary to himself as "look for" to him [THEOPHYLACT].

JFB: 1Co 16:11 - -- Others besides Erastus accompanied Timothy to Macedonia (compare 1Co 16:12; Act 19:22).

Others besides Erastus accompanied Timothy to Macedonia (compare 1Co 16:12; Act 19:22).

Clarke: 1Co 16:11 - -- Let no man - despise him - Let none pretend to say that he has not full authority from God to do the work of an evangelist

But conduct him forth in peace - I believe, with Bp. Pearce, that this clause should be translated and pointed thus: accompany him upon his journey, that he may come unto me in peace, ( εν ειρͩ·νῃ, in safety), as the word is used in Mar 5:34; and Luk 7:50

Clarke: 1Co 16:11 - -- For I look for him with the brethren - Εκδεχομαι - αυτον μετα των αδελφων . This clause should not be understood as i...

For I look for him with the brethren - Εκδεχομαι - αυτον μετα των αδελφων . This clause should not be understood as if Paul was expecting certain brethren with Timothy; but it was the brethren that were with Paul that were looking for him; I, with the brethren, am looking for him.

Calvin: 1Co 16:11 - -- 11.Let no man, therefore, despise him Here we have a second charge, that they may not despise him — perhaps because he was as yet of a youthful...

11.Let no man, therefore, despise him Here we have a second charge, that they may not despise him — perhaps because he was as yet of a youthful age, which usually draws forth less respect. He wishes them, therefore, to take care, that there be no hinderance in the way of this faithful minister of Christ being held in due esteem — unless, perhaps, it be that Paul reckoned this very thing to be an evidence of contempt, if they were not concerned, as it became them to be, in reference to his life. This injunction, however, appears to include something farther, that they should not undervalue Timothy, from ignorance of his worth.

In the third place, he charges them to conduct him forward in peace, or, in other words, safe from all harm, for peace here means safety.

Let no man, therefore, despise him - Let no one despise him on account of his youth and inexperience. It is probable that some of the more wealthy and proud, some who valued themselves on their wisdom and experience, would be disposed to look upon him with contempt. On another occasion, he directed Timothy so to live as that no one should have occasion to despise him on account of his youth 1Ti 4:12; and he here urges on the Corinthians, that they should not despise him because be was a young man, and comparatively inexperienced. A minister of the gospel, though young, should receive the respect that is due to his office; and if he conducts himself in accordance with his high calling, his youth should be no barrier to the confidence and affection of even aged and experienced Christians. It should be rather a reason why they should treat him with affection, and encourage him in his work.

But conduct him forth in peace - That is, when he leaves you. Attend him on his way, and help him forward on his journey to me; see the note on 1Co 16:6.

For I look for him with the brethren - Erastus accompanied Timothy in this journey Act 19:22, and probably there were others with him. Titus also had been sent to Corinth 2Co 12:17-18, and it is not improbable that Paul had desired Titus to bring with him to Ephesus some of the Corinthian brethren, as he might need their assistance there - Grotius.

Poole: 1Co 16:11 - -- Let no man therefore despise him either because he is a very young man, 1Ti 4:12 , or upon any other account. But conduct him forth in peace, that h...

Let no man therefore despise him either because he is a very young man, 1Ti 4:12 , or upon any other account.

But conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me but when he cometh away, show him the respect you use to show me, conduct him in his way.

For I look for him with the brethren for I have need of his help here, in carrying on the business of the gospel; and therefore I, with the brethren here, expect him; or, I expect him with the rest of the brethren, who are in like manner employed abroad in carrying about the gospel.

Gill: 1Co 16:11 - -- Let no man therefore despise him,.... On account of his youth; see 1Ti 4:12, or neglect to take care of him, which would be to despise him, since he w...

Let no man therefore despise him,.... On account of his youth; see 1Ti 4:12, or neglect to take care of him, which would be to despise him, since he was employed in such an honourable work, equally as the apostle himself: hence it is manifest, that as the lives of Gospel ministers ought to be defended and secured by those to whom they minister, their persons ought to be treated with esteem and respect.

But conduct him forth in peace; when he takes his leave, wish him all happiness and prosperity, accompany him some part of the way in his journey, and provide things necessary for him; all which used to be done to such who laboured in the word and doctrine, and were counted worthy of double honour; and such an one Timothy was judged by the apostle to be:

that he may come unto me; at Ephesus, where he now was, in peace and safety, and relate to him the state and condition of the church; their steadfastness in the faith, their care of him, and the respect they had shown him; all which would be grateful to the apostle:

for I look for him with the brethren; that is, either the brethren that were with the apostle were in earnest expectation of him, together with himself; and so the Ethiopic version reads, "for our brethren with me have expected him"; or else that he looked for him along with the brethren, that either went with him, or should come with him from Corinth, being sent by the church.
