People's Commentary (NT)
2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light affliction. Great as his afflictions were, he calls
them light in view of the glorious reward they will bring; continual as
they were, he speaks of them as
but for a moment in view of eternity. They were the more easily
borne for they
worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory.
Bearing the cross weaves an eternal crown. Sorrows endured for Christ's
sake prepare for eternal joys.
