1 Corinthians 16:5-7
When I shall have passed through Macedonia ( οταν Μακεδονιαν διελθω ). "Whenever I pass through (second aorist active subjunctive of διερχομα ) Macedonia" (see construction in verse 3).I do pass through ( διερχομα ). I plan to pass through, futuristic use of present indicative.
It may be ( τυχον ). Neuter accusative of second aorist active participle of τυγχανω used as an adverb (in Plato and Xenophon, but nowhere else in N.T.).
Or even winter ( η κα παραχειμασω ). Future active of late verb παραχειμαζω ( χειμων, winter). See on Ac 27:12; 28:11; Tit 3:12. He did stay in Corinth for three months (Ac 20:3), probably the coming winter.
Whithersoever I go ( ου εαν πορευωμα ). Indefinite local clause with subjunctive. As a matter of fact, Paul had to flee from a conspiracy in Corinth (Ac 20:3).
Now by the way ( αρτ εν παροδω ). Like our "by the way" ( παροδος ), incidentally.
If the Lord permit ( εαν ο Κυριος επιτρεψη ). Condition of the third class. Paul did everything εν Κυριω (Cf. Ac 18:21).
