I had no peace of mind because I did not find my brother Titus [there]. So, I said "good-bye" to them and went on to Macedonia.

because when we are covered by it, we will not be found naked [i.e., without a suitable dwelling for our body].

I am not saying this [to you] as a command, but by telling you how eager others are [to help], to find out how genuine your love is also.

For I am afraid that somehow, when I come [to you], I might not find you the way I want you to be, and you might not find me the way you want me to be. I am afraid there might be quarrelling, jealousy, angry outbursts, factious spirits, slander, gossip, arrogance and [other] disturbances [there].
