SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:7
Porque no os quiero ahora ver de paso; porque espero estar con vosotros algn tiempo, si el Seor lo permitiere.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:7
Verse 7. I will not see you now by the way] From Ephesus to Corinth was merely across the AEgean Sea, and comparatively a short passage.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. For I will not see you now by the way , etc.] Just to look upon them, and be gone, be like a wayfaring man that tarries but for a night: but I trust to tarry a while with you ; the whole winter season: if the Lord permit ; submitting all to the will of God, at whose sovereign disposal he always was, and at whose beck and command he desired to be, and to do nothing, or be any where, but what was agreeable to the will of God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - The good examples of other Christians and churches should rouse us. It is good to lay up in store for good uses. Those who are rich in thi world, should be rich in good works, 1Ti 6:17, 18. The diligent han will not make rich, without the Divine blessing, Pr 10:4, 22. And what more proper to stir us up to charity to the people and children of God than to look at all we have as his gift? Works of mercy are real fruit of true love to God, and are therefore proper services on his own day Ministers are doing their proper business, when putting forward, or helping works of charity. The heart of a Christian minister must be towards the people among whom he has laboured long, and with success All our purposes must be made with submission to the Divine providence Jas 4:15. Adversaries and opposition do not break the spirits of faithful and successful ministers, but warm their zeal, and inspir them with fresh courage. A faithful minister is more discouraged by the hardness of his hearers' hearts, and the backslidings of professors than by the enemies' attempts.

16:7 {Now by the way} (arti en parodwi). Like our "by the way" (parodos), incidentally. {If the Lord permit} (ean ho kurios epitreyei). Condition of the third class. Paul did everything en kuriwi (Cf. #Ac 18:21).
