2 Coríntios 7
Morgan - “No circumstances of personal affliction can dim the gladness of seeing souls grow in the grace of the Lord Jesus.” I am overflowing (huperperisseuo) with joy (chara) in all our affliction (thlipsis) - “I super-abound in joy; I have a joy beyond expression.” NLT = "made me happy despite all our troubles." - Overflowing is in the present tense picturing an ever flowing river of joy (cf "rivers of living water" from his innermost being - Jn 7:38-39). The afflictions did not dampen Paul's joy related to the Corinthians. Joy in affliction is another clear evidence of Paul continually being a Spirit filled man. Affliction does not bring joy to a natural man, but only to a "supernatural man." David
