| Overview - 2 Corinthians 1 | |
| 1 | Paul salutes the Corinthians; |
| 3 | he encourages them against troubles, by the comforts and deliverances which God had given him, as in all his afflictions, |
| 8 | so particularly in his late danger in Asia. |
| 12 | And calling both his own conscience and theirs to witness of his sincere manner of preaching the immutable truth of the gospel, |
| 15 | he excuses his not coming to them, as proceeding not of lightness, but of his lenity towards them. |
