Read 2 Corinthians 1.15-22. In 1.15-22: Paul's change of plans. In verse 15: Double favor refers to Paul's two planned visits. In verse 16: The route implied is Ephesus, Corinth (in Achaia), Macedonia (probably Thessalonica or Philippi), Corinth, Judea (1 Cor 16.5-8). The trip to Judea would be to deliver the collection poor Christians in Jerusalem (Rom 15.25-26). In verses 17-20: To identify Christ as God's "yes" reflects the conviction that God's promises have been fulfilled in him (Gal 3.14-16; Rom 15.8). In verse 21-22: His Spirit maybe Christ's Spirit (Rom 8.9). First installment is a commercial term, "down payment," a gesture of good faith indicating the balance will follow (Rom 5.5; 8.23).
