despise--This charge is not given concerning any other of the many messengers whom Paul sent. Ti1 4:12 accounts for it (compare Psa 119:141). He was a young man, younger probably than those usually employed in the Christian missions; whence Paul apprehending lest he should, on that account, be exposed to contempt, cautions him, "Let no man despise thy youth" [PALEY, HorÃ&brvbr PaulinÃ&brvbr]. conduct--set him on his way with every mark of respect, and with whatever he needs (Tit 3:13). in peace-- (Act 15:33; Heb 11:31). "Peace" is the salutation of kindness and respect in the East; and so it stands for every blessing. Perhaps here there is too a contrast between "peace" and the "contentions" prevalent at Corinth (Co1 1:11). I look for him--He and Titus were appointed to meet Paul in Troas, whither the apostle purposed proceeding from Ephesus (Co2 2:12-13). Paul thus claims their respect for Timothy as one whom he felt so necessary to himself as "look for" to him [THEOPHYLACT]. with the brethren--Others besides Erastus accompanied Timothy to Macedonia (compare Co1 16:12; Act 19:22).
