As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 6:10 Go To 2 Corinthians 6
John Chrysostom
AD 407
People outside the church may think we are sorrowful, but in fact we are always rejoicing. We may look poor, but in fact we have enormous riches, both spiritual and physical. As usual, the Christian life is the exact opposite of what it appears to be on the surface.
