Partnership in the Mission
Commentators explain that when Paul asked the Corinthians to "set me forward on my journey," he was inviting them into a partnership. This support involved more than just a goodbye; it included accompanying him, offering blessings, and providing practical supplies for his travels. This was a common way for early churches to actively participate in the mission of the apostles.
