Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Corinthians 1:7

"and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort." — 2 Corinthians 1:7 (ASV)

And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

How these things are put together! God does not call his people to the one without the other—no consolation without affliction; and, blessed be his name, no affliction without consolation!
