Greek Commentary for 1 Corinthians 16:16
This is the exhortation begun in 1 Corinthians 16:15. The family of Stephanas took the lead in good works. Do ye also follow such leaders. This is our great problem today, to find great leaders and many loyal followers. This would solve all church problems, great leadership and great following. Lend a hand. [source]

A B have ο τεος ho theos as the subject of συνεργει sunergei (old verb, see 1 Corinthians 16:16; 2 Corinthians 6:1). That is the idea anyhow. It is God who makes “all things work together” in our lives “for good” (εις αγατον eis agathon), ultimate good. [source]
See on 1 Thessalonians 4:4. Recognize them for what they are, and as entitled to respect because of their office. Comp. ἐπιγινώσκετε acknowledge 1 Corinthians 16:18; and ἐγνώσθης takestknowledge, lxx, Romans href="/desk/?q=ro+12:8&sr=1">Romans 12:8. Used of superintendents of households, 1 Timothy 3:4, 1 Timothy 3:5, 1 Timothy 3:12: of the ruling of elders of the church, 1 Timothy 5:17. It does not indicate a particular ecclesiastical office, but is used functionally. The ecclesiastical nomenclature of the Pauline Epistles is unsettled, corresponding with the fact that the primitive church was not a homogeneous body throughout christendom. The primitive Pauline church consisted of a number of separate fraternities which were self-governing. The recognition of those who ministered to the congregations depended on the free choice of their members. See for instance 1 Corinthians 16:15, 1 Corinthians 16:16. The congregation exercised discipline and gave judgment: 1 Corinthians 5:3-5; 2 Corinthians 2:6, 2 Corinthians 2:7; 2 Corinthians 7:11, 2 Corinthians 7:12; Galatians 6:1. [source]
Present passive imperative of αχιοω axioō to deem worthy (2 Thessalonians 1:11). With genitive case here. Of double honour (διπλης τιμης diplēs timēs). Old and common contract adjective (διπλοος diploos two-fold, in opposition to απλοος haploos single fold). But why “of double honour”? See note on 1 Timothy 6:1 for “of all honour.” White suggests “remuneration” rather than “honour” for τιμης timēs (a common use for price or pay). Liddon proposes “honorarium” (both honour and pay and so “double”). Wetstein gives numerous examples of soldiers receiving double pay for unusual services. Some suggest twice the pay given the enrolled widows. Especially those who labour in word and teaching Either those who work hard or toil (usual meaning of κοπιαω kopiaō 2 Timothy 2:6) in preaching and teaching (most probable meaning. See 1 Timothy 5:18) or those who teach and preach and not merely preside (a doubtful distinction in “elders” at this time). See Titus 1:8. See both κοπιαω kopiaō and προισταμαι proistamai used for same men (elders) in 1 Thessalonians 5:12 and the use of κοπιαω kopiaō in 1 Corinthians 15:10; 1 Corinthians 16:16. [source]

Present active infinitive (habit of welcoming) of υπολαμβανω hupolambanō old word, to take up under, to carry off (Acts 1:9), to reply (Luke 10:30), to suppose (Acts 2:15), only here in N.T. in this sense of receiving hospitably or to take under one‘s protection like υποδεχομαι hupodechomai (Luke 10:38).Such (τους τοιουτους tous toioutous). “The such” according to the Greek idiom (1 Corinthians 16:16, 1 Corinthians 16:18).That we may be Purpose clause with ινα hina and the present middle subjunctive of γινομαι ginomai “that we may keep on becoming.”Fellow-workers (συνεργοι sunergoi). Old compound (συν εργον sunτηι αλητειαι ergon).With the truth So associative instrumental case with συνεργοι sun in συνεργεω sunergoi but it is not certain that this is the idea, though εργοις sunergeō is so used with Συνεργος ergois in James 2:22. τεου συνεργοι Sunergos itself occurs with the genitive of the person as in της χαρας theou sunergoi (1 Corinthians 3:9) or with genitive of the thing tēs charās (1 Corinthians 3:9). So then here the meaning may be either “co-workers with such brethren for the truth” (dative of advantage) or “co-workers with the truth” (associative instrumental case). [source]
