For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 4:16 Go To 2 Corinthians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
The body decays by being scourged and persecuted, but the inward man is renewed by faith, hope and a forwardlooking will which braves those extremities. For the hope of the soul is in direct proportion to the suffering of the body.
