This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Comfort
The manner in which Paul, so to speak, fondles this word, is most beautiful. Compare 2Co 1:4-6.
Mourning (ὀδυρμόν)
Only here and Mat 2:18. It implies a verbal expression of grief. Cebes, a disciple of Socrates, in his Pinax represents Λύπη Lupe, Sorrow, as a woman, with her head bowed upon her breast; Ὁδύνη Odune, consuming Grief, follows, tearing her hair. By her side is Ὁδυρμός Odurmos, Lamentation, a revolting, emaciated figure, whose sister is Ἁθυμία Athumia, Despondency.
