Paul salutes the Corinthians;3. he encourages them against troubles, 5. by the comforts and deliverances which God had given him, 8. so particularly in his late danger in Asia. 12. And calling both his own conscience and theirs, 15. he excuses his not coming to them, as proceeding not of lightness, 23. but of his care for them. (6) And whether we be afflicted . . .--The better MSS. present some variations in the order of the clauses, some of them giving the words "and our hope of you is steadfast" after "which we also suffer" in this verse. The variation hardly affects the sense in any appreciable degree. That sense is that each stage of the Apostle's experience, that of affliction no less than that of consolation, tended to make others sharers in the latter and not in the former. For your consolation and salvation.--The latter word is added as presenting, in modern phrase, the objective side of the result of which St. Paul speaks, while the former gives prominence to the subjective. There was not only the sense of being comforted: there was also the actual deliverance from all real evil, expressed by the word "salvation." But this deliverance is seen, not in a mere escape from, or avoidance of, sufferings, but in a patient, steadfast endurance of them. Which is effectual.--Better, which worketh. The word is the same as in "faith working by love" in Galatians 5:6. Which we also suffer.--What these are has not yet been specifically stated. It is assumed that the sufferings of all Christians have much in common. All have to suffer persecution from without (Acts 14:22). All have anxieties, sorrows, disappointments, which bring a keener pain than the ills that threaten the spoiling of goods or even life itself. Verse 6. - And; rather, but. The verse expresses the additional thought that the comfort (i.e. encouragement and strengthening) of the apostle, as well as his affliction, was not only designed for his own spiritual training, but was the source of direct blessing to his converts, because it enabled him, both by example (Philippians 1:14) and by the lessons of experience, to strengthen others in affliction, and so to further their salvation by teaching them how to endure (Romans 5:34). The affliction brings encouragement, and so works endurance in us, and, by our example and teaching, in you.Parallel Commentaries ... Greek IfΕἴτε (Eite) Conjunction Strong's 1535: And if, whether.
