People's New Testament

16:11 Let no man therefore despise him. He was a young man. See 1Ti 4:12.

I look for him with the brethren. That he came with them, as expected, is seen from 2Co 1:1.

Wesley's Notes

16:11 I look for him with the brethren - That accompany him.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

11. despise-This charge is not given concerning any other of the many messengers whom Paul sent. 1Ti 4:12 accounts for it (compare Ps 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, Horę Paulinę].

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

in peace-(Ac 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).

I look for him-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].

with the brethren-Others besides Erastus accompanied Timothy to Macedonia (compare 1Co 16:12; Ac 19:22).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:10-12 Timothy came to do the work of the Lord. Therefore to vex his spirit, would be to grieve the Holy Spirit; to despise him, would be to despise Him that sent him. Those who work the work of the Lord, should be treated with tenderness and respect. Faithful ministers will not be jealous of each other. It becomes the ministers of the gospel to show concern for each other's reputation and usefulness.


Acts 15:3 Therefore, being sent on their way by the church, they were passing through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and were bringing great joy to all the brethren.
Acts 15:33 After they had spent time there, they were sent away from the brethren in peace to those who had sent them out.
1 Corinthians 16:6 and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.
1 Timothy 4:12 Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.
Titus 2:15 These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you. (NASB ©1995)
