Thlipsis pictures pressure — a crushing weight. Paul uses it for the trials of Christian life: “We are afflicted (thlibomenoi) in every way, but not crushed.”

Jesus warned that in the world we would have thlipsis but should take heart; he has overcome the world. The New Testament’s answer to tribulation is not denial but his presence and his coming kingdom.
