On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The things both of the present and of the future are, in the truest sense, the believer's in possession, for he possesses them all in Christ, his lasting possession, though the full fruition of them is reserved for the future eternity.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Such a paradox is a Christian's life, and through such a variety of conditions and reports lies our way to heaven; and we should be careful in all these things to approve ourselves to God. Cautions against Mingling with Unbelievers. 11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

As sorrowing - For our own manifold imperfections, and for the sins and sufferings of our brethren. Yet always rejoicing - In present peace, love, power, and a sure hope of future glory. As having nothing, yet possessing all things - For all things are ours, if we are Christ's.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
