哥林多後書 4:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 4:16

For which cause we faint not
Since our afflictions are overruled for the good of others, and the glory of God, we are not discouraged by them; our spirits do not sink under the weight of them; we do not give out from the work of the ministry because of them, but go on cheerfully therein: and the more so, since

though our outward man perish;
our outward circumstances of life are very mean and despicable; we are oftentimes in a very distressed condition through hunger, thirst, nakedness, and want of the common necessaries of life; our bodies are almost worn out with fatigue, labour, and sorrow; our earthly tabernacles are tottering, and just ready to fall in pieces:

yet the inward man is renewed day by day;
that is, continually; it answers to (Mwy Mwyw) , an Hebraism; see ( Esther 2:11 ) ( 3:4 ) the internal hidden man of the heart, the new man is in a prosperous condition; our souls are in good health; the work of God is comfortably carried on in us; we have sweet and repeated experiences of the love of God; we are growing in grace, and in the knowledge of Christ; and, like the palm tree, the more weight is hung upon it, the more it thrives; and, like the children of Israel in Egypt, the more they were afflicted the more they grew.

哥林多後書 4:16 In-Context

14 自 己 知 道 那 叫 主 耶 穌 復 活 的 , 也 必 叫 我 們 與 耶 穌 一 同 復 活 , 並 且 叫 我 們 與 你 們 一 同 站 在 他 面 前 。
15 凡 事 都 是 為 你 們 , 好 叫 恩 惠 因 人 多 越 發 加 增 , 感 謝 格 外 顯 多 , 以 致 榮 耀 歸 與 神 。
16 所 以 , 我 們 不 喪 膽 。 外 體 雖 然 毀 壞 , 內 心 卻 一 天 新 似 一 天 。
17 我 們 這 至 暫 至 輕 的 苦 楚 , 要 為 我 們 成 就 極 重 無 比 、 永 遠 的 榮 耀 。
18 原 來 我 們 不 是 顧 念 所 見 的 , 乃 是 顧 念 所 不 見 的 ; 因 為 所 見 的 是 暫 時 的 , 所 不 見 的 是 永 遠 的 。
