2 Corintios 1:5

5 Porque de la manera que abundan en nosotros las aflicciones del Cristo, así abunda también, por Cristo, nuestra consolación.

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 Jesús, el Cristo, el Padre de misericordias, y el Dios de toda consolación,

4 el que nos consuela en todas nuestras tribulaciones, para que podamos también nosotros consolar a los que están en cualquier angustia, con la consolación con que nosotros somos consolados por Dios.

5 Porque de la manera que abundan en nosotros las aflicciones del Cristo, así abunda también, por Cristo, nuestra consolación.

6 Pero si somos atribulados, es por vuestra consolación y salud; la cual es obrada en el sufrir las mismas aflicciones que nosotros también padecemos; o si somos consolados, es por vuestra consolación y salud;

7 y nuestra esperanza de vosotros es firme; estando ciertos que como sois compañeros de las aflicciones, así también lo seréis de la consolación.
