<p>16:6 <i>And perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey</i>- He planned to &quot;pass through&quot; Macedonia (:5), but to for an extended period &quot;stay with you&quot; (as :7). Because of their evident weaknesses and the possibility they would miss the path to salvation, Paul wanted to make a special effort for them. 2 Cor. 1:16 says he intended to visit them twice, on the way to and from Macedonia; and that he wanted to go from Corinth directly to Judea. &quot;Help me on my journey&quot; refers to the practice of accompanying a departing visitor for the first part of their journey and wishing them God's blessing- as in :11.</p><p><i>Wherever I go further</i>- This not to be read as a vague wish; rather is it clear from :3 and 2 Cor. 1:16 that he intended to go from them to Jerusalem with the brethren who were carrying the collection money. Perhaps one reason he changed his plans because he knew the collection money was not going to be ready, and he would feel the need to discipline them for this.</p>
