1 Corinthians 16:3
When I arrive ( οταν παραγενωμα ). Whenever I arrive, indefinite temporal conjunction οταν and second aorist middle subjunctive.Whomsoever ye shall approve by letters ( ους εαν δοκιμασητε δι' επιστολων ). Indefinite relative with εαν and aorist subjunctive of δοκιμαζω (to test and so approve as in Php 1:10). "By letters" to make it formal and regular and Paul would approve their choice of messengers to go with him to Jerusalem (2Co 8:20ff.). Curiously enough no names from Corinth occur in the list in Ac 20:4.
To carry ( απενεγκειν ). Second aorist active infinitive of αποφερω, to bear away.
Bounty ( χαριν ). Gift, grace, as in 2Co 8:4-7. As a matter of fact, the messengers of the churches ( αποστολο εκκλησιων 2Co 8:23) went along with Paul to Jerusalem (Ac 20:4f.).
