Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
10

3
You said, Woe is me now! for Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.
28
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29

I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
17
When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"
3
And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn't have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
9
pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
10
always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11
For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
12
So then death works in us, but life in you.
5
For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
23
Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.
24
Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one.
25
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
26
I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;
27
in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
28
Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily, anxiety for all the assemblies.
29
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don't burn with indignation?
30
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
20
For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don't desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;
21
that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed.
11
I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
19
My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you--
20
but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
5
For this cause I also, when I couldn't stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
Combats contre les adversaires de l'Evangile, craintes sur les résultats de sa première épître aux Corinthiens.
Nous devrions sans cesse tenter, par tous les moyens de nous rapprocher de Dieu, l'Auteur de toute consolation et de bonté. La souffrance tolérée par Dieu, tendant à Sa Gloire, et forgée par Son Esprit, rend le cœur humble, contrit, soumis, disposé à éliminer chaque péché, et à marcher en nouveauté de vie. Ce repentir est associé au salut, par la foi en Christ, et par Son expiation du péché.
Il y a une grande différence entre la souffrance que peuvent éprouver les hommes pieux, et celle de ce monde. Les fruits du véritable repentir sont mentionnés dans ce texte. Le changement d’un cœur transformé spirituellement se traduit par une nouveauté de vie : les perspectives ici-bas seront alors totalement différentes !
Toutes ces pensées forgent notre indignation vis à vis du péché, du tentateur et de ses serviteurs. Cela attise notre vigilance contre toute tolérance à l’iniquité, et nous incite à la prudence vis à vis de cette dernière. Cela forge le désir d'être réconcilié avec Dieu, ainsi que notre zèle pour accomplir notre devoir. Cela nous incite à combattre le péché et sa folie, étant réellement convaincu des graves blessures qu'il peut occasionner.
L'humilité profonde devant Dieu, la haine de tout péché, la foi en Christ, un cœur nouveau et une nouvelle vie, provoquent le repentir à salut. Puisse le Seigneur l'accorder à chacun de nous !
