WK Translation Notes

a
It is common to make the genitive dependent on "meet," and to deduce the meaning, "if the occasion, or magnitude of the collection, warrant an apostolic mission in order to carry it." But such a sense, though grammatically possible, seems to me unworthy of the apostle. The truth is that the genitive of design, purpose, or the conclusion to be formed, as here, is a common Hellenistic usage. The KJV is therefore nearer the mark, and much more in unison with the dignity of all concerned, as well as with God’s word and Spirit.
