2 Corinthians 1:7

And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 1:7 Go To 2 Corinthians 1

John Chrysostom

AD 407
See how far they had advanced since Paul wrote his first epistle. Now his hope for them was unshaken by their behavior. Paul also tells them that if he has been comforted, they will be comforted as well. If the Corinthians regarded Paul’s sufferings as their own, then his comfort would also be theirs. By saying this, Paul hoped that he would be able to encourage them and get them to accept his absence from them more easily.
