People's Commentary (NT)
2 Corinthians 4:8
In these two verses are four pairs of contrasts which should the
frailty of the instruments and the greatness of the power:
(1) Troubled on every side, yet not distressed. "pressed on every
side" (Revised Version), but not hemmed in by the pressure.
(2) Perplexed, but not in despair. In apparently overwhelming
difficulties, but never reduced to despair.
(3) Persecuted, but not forsaken. Persecuted by their enemies, but
not forsaken and delivered over to them.
(4) Cast down, but not destroyed. Overthrown and cast to the earth,
but even then rescued from the enemy, standing over them prostrate,
so that they are not destroyed.
