Can any one lead Christ to cease loving us? Such things do happen between husband and wife, alas. Paul changes the figure from “who” The items mentioned will not make Christ love us less. Paul here glories in tribulations as in Romans 5:3. [source]

Trench remarks: “The fitness of this image is attested by the frequency with which, on the other hand, a state of joy is expressed in the Psalms and elsewhere, as a bringing into a large room,” Psalm 118:5; 2 Samuel 22:20. Aquinas says: loetitia est latitia, joy is breadth. [source]
