(4) Who comforteth us.--For the writer, the name "God of all comfort" was the outcome of a living personal experience. He had felt that ever-continuing comfort flowing into his soul, and he knew that it had not been given to him for his own profit only, but that it might flow forth to others. Heathen poets had asserted one side of the truth. Sophocles had said-- "They comfort others who themselves have mourned;" --Fragm. and Virgil-- "Not ignorant of ill, I, too, have learnt To succour those that suffer."--'n. i. 630. There was a yet deeper truth in the thought that the power to comfort varies with the measure in which we have been comforted ourselves.

The collective experience of affliction is sustained by the collective experience of comfort. That we may be able to comfort. Thus St. Paul takes "a teleological view of sorrow." It is partly designed as a school of sympathy. It is a part of the training of an apostle, just as suffering is essential to one who is to be a sympathetic high priest (Hebrews 5:1, 2). In any trouble. The original more forcibly repeats the words, "in all affliction." Wherewith we ourselves are comforted.
