For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 1:5 Go To 2 Corinthians 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul did not want to depress the disciples with an exaggerated account of his sufferings, so instead of that he declares how great the consolation was that he received, reminding them of Christ.
