Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Timothy 3:14

14 These things I write unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly.

I being now in Macedonia, or at Athens, or some parts thereabouts have wrote to thee whom I left at Ephesus these precepts about the Officers of Churches, not being sure I shall, but hoping my self soon to come to Ephesus unto thee, which yet he did not, as we read, for he met Timothy at Troas, Acts 20.5.
