2 Corinthians 1:2 In-Context

1 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God--and our brother Timothy: To the Church of God in Corinth, with all God's people throughout Greece.

2 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.

4 He comforts us in our every affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 For just as we have more than our share of suffering for the Christ, so also through the Christ we have more than our share of comfort.
