2 Coríntios 4:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 4:9

Persecuted, but not forsaken
Pursued from place to place, and followed with menaces, curses, and reproaches; laid hold on, proscribed, imprisoned, and threatened with the severest tortures, and death itself; but our God never leaves us nor forsakes us; though we are followed close by evil men, and left by our friends, we are not forsaken of God:

cast down
we sometimes are, as an earthen vessel; ( 2 Corinthians 4:7 ) , which may be cast out of a man's hands, in order to be dashed to pieces; or as a man in wrestling, see ( Ephesians 6:12 ) may be thrown to the ground by his antagonist, so we are sometimes foiled by sin, Satan, and the world:

but not destroyed;
we are still safe in the hands of Christ, and are kept by the power of God; and, indeed, to what else can all this be ascribed? it is surprising that earthen vessels should bear and suffer so much, and not fall, or be dashed to pieces.

2 Coríntios 4:9 In-Context

7 Mas temos esse tesouro em vasos de barro, para mostrar que o poder que a tudo excede provém de Deus, e não de nós.
8 De todos os lados somos pressionados, mas não desanimados; ficamos perplexos, mas não desesperados;
9 somos perseguidos, mas não abandonados; abatidos, mas não destruídos.
10 Trazemos sempre em nosso corpo o morrer de Jesus, para que a vida de Jesus também seja revelada em nosso corpo.
11 Pois nós, que estamos vivos, somos sempre entregues à morte por amor a Jesus, para que a sua vida também se manifeste em nosso corpo mortal.
