2 Corinthians 1:6-11 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation… 1. God hath a time, as for all things, so for our deliverance. 2. God's time is the best time. He is the best discerner of opportunities. 3. This shall be when He hath wrought His work upon our souls, specially when He hath made us trust in Him. As here, when Paul had learned to trust in God, then He delivered him. (R. Sibbes, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. |
