1 Corintios 16:17 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 16:17

I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and
Achaicus
Who very probably were those of the household of Chloe, mentioned in ( 1 Corinthians 1:11 ) , who came either of their own accord, or were sent as messengers from the church at Corinth to the apostle; who was glad to see them, one of them being baptized by him, and perhaps all of them converted under his ministry: however, they were believers in Christ, if not ministers of the Gospel, which seems very probable.

For that which was lacking on your part they have supplied;
which is not to be understood of their supplying him with money, in which the Corinthians had been deficient; for as he had never taken anything of them, he was determined he never would; see ( 2 Corinthians 11:7-10 ) ( 2 Corinthians 12:13 2 Corinthians 12:14 ) ; but either of their presence which supplied the want of theirs, the apostle had been for some time greatly desirous of; or whereas they had been greatly wanting in sending him an account of the state of the church, and how things stood with them, these brethren greatly supplied that defect, by giving him a very particular account of their church affairs.

1 Corintios 16:17 In-Context

15 Os exhorto, hermanos (ya conocéis a los de la casa de Estéfanas, que fueron los primeros convertidos de Acaya, y que se han dedicado al servicio de los santos),

16 que también vosotros estéis en sujeción a los que son como ellos, y a todo el que ayuda en la obra y trabaja.

17 Y me regocijo por la venida de Estéfanas, de Fortunato y de Acaico, pues ellos han suplido lo que faltaba de vuestra parte.

18 Porque ellos han recreado mi espíritu y el vuestro. Por tanto, reconoced a tales personas.

19 Las iglesias de Asia os saludan. Aquila y Priscila, con la iglesia que está en su casa, os saludan muy afectuosamente en el Señor.
