All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 4:12 Go To 2 Corinthians 4
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Death worketh in us, when we are under persecutions, and dangers of death, and life in you, who live in ease and plenty. (Witham)
The preaching of the gospel, which we undertake in such a disinterested manner, and which exposes us to so many dangers, is the cause of death to us, but of life to you. It draws down upon us a thousand dangers and disgraces; but procures you all kinds of advantages. You tranquilly enjoy the fruit of our labour, though we do not envy you this happiness, because we hope one day to enjoy the reward of our labours. (Calmet)
