Verse 17 Timotheus. The first account of Timothy is given in Acts 16:1-3. He had been at Corinth with Paul on his first visit there. (Acts 18:5.) When this letter was, written, he was at Ephesus with Paul, as appears from the account in Acts 19:21,22, whence it is stated that Paul sent him forward to Macedonia, with directions, probably, as is here implied, to go on to Corinth. Still, as appears from another expression in this Epistle, (1 Corinthians 16:10,) it was not quite certain that he would reach Corinth.
