Commentary on 2 Corinthians 4:11

Theological / Devotional

We which live. Paul here amplifies and confirms what he has already stated in v. 10. For the ambassador of the gospel in those days, life and death were never far apart.

Alway. In the Greek this word is in the emphatic position. Paul lived intimately with death (see on 1 Cor. 15:29).

That the life. Though permanently handed over to death, the Christian missionary lives on, for Christ communicates His own life to that which is essentially mortal and corruptible (John 3:36; 14:6; 1 John 5:11, 12).
