And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
Note 2 at 1Co 16:6: Paul was making a very clear reference to the Corinthians helping him financially with his travels (see note 1 at 1Co 16:1). This was not the only time nor the only church he did this with (Ac 15:3, 21:5; Ro 15:24; 2Co 1:16; and 3Jo 6). This solicitation for an offering came in the same letter in which he had said he would rather die than take money from them (1Co 9:15). These two "apparently" contradictory statements need to be taken in context to get Paul's real meaning (see note 5 at 1Co 9:6).
