This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

2Co 1:8. Ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ, in Asia) 1Co 15:32, note. The Corinthians were not ignorant of that affliction, which had befallen him in Asia: but Paul now declares its magnitude and its advantageous result. [The whole epistle presents a journal of his travels; but most excellent precepts are interwoven with the narrative of them.-V. g.]-ὑπὲρ δύναμιν) above ordinary strength.-ἐξαπορηθῆναι, that we despaired) He affirms here, what he denies in another respect, 2Co 4:8; for he is speaking here of human, there of Divine assistance.
