2 Corinthians 1:5

1:5 For just as the sufferings ¹  of Christ ²  overflow ³  toward us, so also our comfort through Christ overflows to you. ⁴ 

2 Corinthians 9:8

9:8 And God is able to make all grace overflow ⁵  to you so that because you have enough ⁶  of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow ⁷  in every good work.

[1:5]  ¹ tn This Greek word translated “sufferings” here (πάθημα, paqhma) is a different one than the one Paul uses for his own afflictions/persecutions (θλῖψις, qliyi") in v. 4.

[1:5]  ² tn I.e., suffering incurred by Paul as a consequence of his relationship to Christ. The genitive could be considered to have a causative nuance here.

[1:5]  ³ tn Traditionally, “abound” (here and throughout this section).

[1:5]  ⁴ tn The words “to you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied by the statements in the following verse.

[9:8]  ⁵ tn Or “abound.”

[9:8]  ⁶ tn Or “so that by having enough.” The Greek participle can be translated as a participle of cause (“because you have enough”) or means (“by having enough”).

[9:8]  ⁷ tn Or “abound.”
