2 Corinthians 1
1.Paul salutes the Corinthians;
3.he encourages them against troubles,
5.by the comforts and deliverances which God had given him,
8.so particularly in his late danger in Asia.
12.And calling both his own conscience and theirs,
15.he excuses his not coming to them, as proceeding not of lightness,
23.but of his care for them.














We do not want you to be unaware, brothers
Paul often uses the term "brothers" to address fellow believers, emphasizing the familial bond within the Christian community. This introduction indicates the importance of transparency and communication within the body of Christ. Paul’s desire for the Corinthians to be informed reflects the early church's emphasis on mutual support and shared experiences, as seen inActs 2:42-47, where believers shared all things in common.

of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia
The "province of Asia" refers to a Roman province in what is now western Turkey. This area included cities like Ephesus, where Paul faced significant opposition (Acts 19:23-41). The hardships likely included both physical persecution and spiritual challenges. The cultural context of Asia Minor, with its diverse religious practices and strong pagan influences, often led to conflicts for early Christians. Paul's experiences in Asia are a testament to the trials faced by those spreading the Gospel in hostile environments.

We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure
This phrase highlights the severity of the trials Paul and his companions faced. The language suggests an overwhelming pressure, possibly both physical and emotional. This echoes the biblical theme of human weakness contrasted with divine strength, as seen in2 Corinthians 12:9, where Paul speaks of God's power being made perfect in weakness. The acknowledgment of human limitations serves to point believers to reliance on God's strength.

so that we despaired even of life
Paul's admission of despair underscores the depth of his suffering. This level of despair is rare in Paul's writings, indicating an extreme situation. It serves as a reminder of the reality of suffering in the Christian life, aligning with Jesus' own experiences of anguish, such as in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:38). This phrase also connects to the broader biblical narrative of suffering leading to greater reliance on God, as seen in the story of Job and the Psalms of lament.

Teaching Points
The Reality of Christian Suffering
Paul’s transparency about his struggles reminds us that suffering is a part of the Christian journey. It is important to acknowledge and share our burdens with fellow believers for mutual support and encouragement.

Dependence on God’s Strength
The phrase "far beyond our ability to endure" emphasizes our need to rely on God’s strength rather than our own. In times of overwhelming trials, we are called to trust in God’s power and provision.

Purpose in Trials
Paul’s experiences teach us that God can use our hardships to deepen our faith and reliance on Him. Trials can serve as a testimony to God’s faithfulness and a means to minister to others.

Community and Support
Paul’s sharing of his struggles with the Corinthians highlights the importance of community in the Christian life. We are encouraged to support one another through prayer and practical help.

What Does 2 Corinthians 1:8 Mean
We do not want you to be unaware, brothers

Paul opens with family language—“brothers”—inviting the Corinthian believers into honest fellowship. His words model transparency.

• Similar phrases appear inRomans 1:13 and1 Thessalonians 4:13, underscoring an apostolic habit of informing the churches.

• By sharing, Paul guards the flock from assumptions, strengthening the trust that unity requires (Ephesians 4:25).

• He also teaches that believers should walk in the light with one another (1 John 1:7), not hiding real struggles behind a spiritual façade.

of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia

Paul narrows the focus to “Asia,” likely Ephesus and its surrounding region (Acts 19).

•Acts 19:23-41 recounts the riot sparked by the idol-makers—one vivid example of these hardships.

•1 Corinthians 15:32 hints he “fought wild beasts in Ephesus,” whether literal or metaphorical, showing danger on every side.

• Later in this same letter Paul itemizes sufferings—imprisonments, beatings, shipwrecks (2 Corinthians 11:23-27).

These references remind us that Christian service often invites opposition (Philippians 1:29). Hardship isn’t a detour from God’s will but frequently the path itself (2 Timothy 3:12).

We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life

Paul does not downplay the weight; it was “far beyond” human capacity.

• His candor comforts readers who feel overwhelmed; Scripture validates the experience of despair (Psalm 88:3-4;Jonah 4:3).

• Yet2 Corinthians 4:8-9 shows that though “perplexed,” he was “not in despair” in the ultimate sense, because God upheld him.

• Verse 9 (immediately following) reveals God’s purpose: “so that we would not trust in ourselves but in God, who raises the dead.” The resurrection power that saved Paul spiritually also sustained him physically (Romans 8:11).

• The phrase teaches that believers may meet trials that shatter self-reliance, driving them to rest on divine sufficiency (Psalm 55:22;2 Corinthians 12:9-10).

summary

2 Corinthians 1:8 pulls back the curtain on apostolic ministry:

• Transparent sharing—“we do not want you to be unaware.”

• Concrete hardship—riots, threats, pressures in Asia.

• Crushing burden—so heavy it emptied Paul of self-confidence and made him cling to the God who raises the dead.

For every reader, the verse affirms that Scripture neither ignores suffering nor exalts self-strength; it exalts the Lord who meets His people in weakness and delivers them for His glory.

(8)We would not, brethren, have you ignorant.--From the generalised language of the previous verses he passes to something more specific. The phrase by which he calls attention to the importance of what he is about to write is characteristic of the Epistles of this period (Romans 1:13;1Corinthians 10:1;1Corinthians 12:1;1Thessalonians 4:13).

Our trouble which came to us in Asia.--The allusion may possibly be to the Demetrius tumult ofActs 19:24-41, or to some like time of danger, such as that referred to in1Corinthians 15:32. On the other hand, however, he would probably, in that case, have spoken of a definitely localised danger, as he does in the last reference as being "in Ephesus." The words "in Asia" suggest a wider range of suffering, such as we find referred to in the speech to the elders at Miletus (Acts 20:19), and the context leads us to think of bodily illness as well as of perils and anxieties. . . .

Verse 8. -For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant. This is a favourite phrase with St. Paul (Romans 1:13;Romans 11:25;1 Corinthians 12:1;1 Thessalonians 4:13). Of our trouble; rather,about our affliction. He assumes that they are aware what the trouble was, and he does not specially mention it. What he wants them to know is that, by the help of their prayers and sympathy, God had delivered him out of this affliction, crushing as it was.Which came to us in Asia. Most commentators refer this to the tumult at Ephesus (Acts 19.); and since St. Paul's dangers, sicknesses, and troubles are clearlyunderstated throughout the Acts, it is possible that the perils and personal maltreatment which were liable to occur during such a season of excitement may have brought on some violent illness; or, again, be may have suffered from some plots (1 Corinthians 16:9, 32;Acts 20:19) or shipwreck (2 Corinthians 11:25). InRomans 16:4 he alludes again to some extreme peril. But St. Paul seems systematically to have made light of external dangers and sufferings. All his strongest expressions (seeRomans 9:1-3, etc.) are reserved for mental anguish and affliction. What he felt most keenly was the pang of lacerated affections. It is, therefore, possible that he is here alluding to the overpowering tumult of feelings which had been aroused by his anxiety as to the reception likely to be accorded to his first letter. To this and the accompanying circumstances he alludes again and again (2 Corinthians 2:4, 12;2 Corinthians 7:5, etc.). The sense of "comfort" resulting from the tidings brought by Titus (2 Corinthians 7:6, 7, 13) is as strong as that expressed in these verses, and the allusion to this anguish of heart is specially appropriate here, because he is dwelling on the sympathetic communion between himself and his converts, both in their sorrows and their consolations.That we were pressed cut of measure, above strength; literally,that toe were weighed down exceedingly beyond our power. The trial seemed too heavy for him to bear. The phrase here rendered "out of measure" occurs in2 Corinthians 4:17;Romans 7:13;1 Corinthians 12:31;Galatians 1:13; but is only found in this particular group of letters.Insomuch that we despaired even of life. This rendering conveys the meaning. Literally it is,so that we were even in utter perplexity (2 Corinthians 4:8)even about life. "I fell into such agony of mind that I hardly hoped to survive." Generally, although he was often in perplexity, he succeeded in resisting despair (2 Corinthians 4:8).
