Context of 1 Corinthians 16:10
8But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost. 9For a great door is opened to me and an effectual [one], and [the] adversaries many. Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, even as I. 11Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren. 12Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all [his] will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity.

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 16:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Now, if Timotheus come - Of Timothy we have heard before, 1 Corinthians 4:17. And we learn, from Acts 19:22, that Paul sent him with Erastus from Ephesus to Macedonia. It is evident, therefore, in opposition to the very exceptionable subscription at the end of this epistle, that the epistle itself was not sent by Timothy, as there stated. That he may be with you without fear - That he may be treated well, and not perplexed and harassed with your divisions…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Now if Timotheus come - Paul had sent Timothy to them (see the note at 1 Corinthians 4:17-18), but as he had many churches to visit, it was not absolutely certain that he would go to Corinth. May be with you without fear - Let him be received kindly and affectionately. Timothy was then a young man; Acts 16:1-3; 1 Timothy 4:12. There might be some danger that he might feel himself embarrassed among the rich, the frivilous, and the great. Paul, therefore…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-12Verses 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.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10If Timothy comes: See 4:17. Timothy was Paul's spiritual child and co-worker (see 1 Timothy 1:2). see to it that he has nothing to fear: Timothy might have been shy or tentative (2 Timothy 1:6–8).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. Now--rather, "But." Therefore Timothy was not the bearer of the Epistle; for it would not then be said, "IF Timothy come." He must therefore have been sent by Paul from Ephesus before this Epistle was written, to accord with 1Co 4:17-19; and yet the passage here implies that Paul did not expect him to arrive at Corinth till after the letter was received. He tells them how to treat him "if" he should arrive. Ac 19:21, 22 clears up the difficulty…Read the comment
