2 Corintios 1:5

5 Porque así como los sufrimientos de Cristo son nuestros en abundancia, así también abunda nuestro consuelo por medio de Cristo.

2 Corintios 1:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 1:5

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us
By "the sufferings of Christ" are not meant those which he suffered in his own person for the sake, and in the room and stead of his people, the fruits and effects of which abound to them, and in them; but those which he suffers in his members, or which they suffer for his sake; and which are said to "abound in" them, because of the variety and greatness of them; though not as if they were more or greater than what Christ suffered in his soul and body, when he was made sin and a curse for his people: yet notwithstanding the abundance of them, such is the goodness and grace of God, that he proportions comforts to them; as their afflictions increase, so do their comforts; as their sufferings for the sake of Christ, and his Gospel, are more and greater,

so,
says he, our consolation aboundeth by Christ:
meaning, either that consolation which they felt and enjoyed in their own souls, under all their tribulations, which abundantly answered to them, and which they ascribe to Christ, from and by whom it comes to them; or else that consolation, which, by preaching Christ, abounded to the relief of others who were in distress and trouble.

2 Corintios 1:5 In-Context

3 Bendito sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Padre de misericordias y Dios de toda consolación,

4 el cual nos consuela en toda tribulación nuestra, para que nosotros podamos consolar a los que están en cualquier aflicción con el consuelo con que nosotros mismos somos consolados por Dios.

5 Porque así como los sufrimientos de Cristo son nuestros en abundancia, así también abunda nuestro consuelo por medio de Cristo.

6 Pero si somos atribulados, es para vuestro consuelo y salvación; o si somos consolados, es para vuestro consuelo, que obra al soportar las mismas aflicciones que nosotros también sufrimos.

7 Y nuestra esperanza respecto de vosotros está firmemente establecida, sabiendo que como sois copartícipes de los sufrimientos, así también lo sois de la consolación.
