2 Corinthians 4:9 — Community Reflections

2 CORINTHIANS 4:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1

“Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;”

Persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed — the pattern continues: diōkō (pursued) but not kataleipō (abandoned). Paul echoes Psalm 23:4 (even through the valley of death): divine presence ensures survival. Striken down (kataballō) but not killed (apollymi). Physical assault does not annihilate apostolic purpose.
