Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. - The dying of the Lord Jesus; literally, the putting to death (Vulgate, mortificatio). This is even stronger than 2 Corinthians 1:5. It is not only "the sufferings," but even "the dying," of Christ of which his true followers partake (Romans 8:36, "For thy sake are we killed all the day long"). St. Paul, who was "in deaths oft" (2 Corinthians 11:23), was thus being made conformable unto Christ's death (Philippians 3:10). Philo, too, compares life to "the daily carrying about of a corpse," and the Cure d'Ars used to speak of his body as "ce cadavre." That the life also of Jesus, etc. The thought is exactly the same as in 2 Timothy 2:11, "If we be dead with him, we shall also live with him."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus.--The word for "dying" (again, probably, a distinctly medical term) is literally "deadness," "the state of a corpse." Comp. Romans 4:19 for the word itself, and Romans 4:19, Colossians 3:5 ("mortify"), Hebrews 11:12 ("as good as dead") for the cognate verb. The word describes, as by a bold hyperbole, the condition of one whose life was one long conflict with disease: "dying daily" (1Corinthians 15:31); having in himself "the sentence," or, possibly, the very symptoms, "of death" (2Corinthians 1:8-9). He was, as it were, dragging about with him what it was scarcely an exaggeration to call a "living corpse;" and this he describes as "the dying" (or death-state) "of the Lord Jesus." The thought implied in these words is not formally defined. What seems implied is that it brought him nearer to the likeness of the Crucified; he was thus made a sharer in the sufferings of Christ, filling up what was lacking in the measure of those sufferings (Colossians 1:24), dying as He died, crucified with Him (Galatians 2:20). It may be noted that Philo (2 Alleg. p. 73) uses almost the same word to express the natural frailty and weakness of man's body--"What, then, is our life but the daily carrying about of a corpse?" . . .
