Albert Barnes Commentary 1 Corinthians 16:4

"and if it be meet for me to go also, they shall go with me." — 1 Corinthians 16:4 (ASV)

And if it be meet, etc. If it is judged desirable and best. If my presence can further the objective, or will satisfy you better, or will be considered necessary to guide and aid those who may be sent, I will be willing to go also. For some appropriate and valuable remarks regarding the apostle Paul's management of financial matters, so as not to arouse suspicion and to preserve a blameless reputation, see Paley's Horae Paulinae, chapter 4, sections 1 and 3, Note.
