1
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, brother, to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all saints that be in all Achaia,
2
grace to you, and peace of God our Father and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
3
Blessed be God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Father of mercies, and God of all comfort,
4
which comforteth us in all our tribulation, that also we be able to comfort them, that be in all dis-ease, by the admonishing by which also we be admonished of God [that and we may comfort them, that be in all pressure, or overlaying, by the exhortation, or admonishing, by which and we be admonished of God].
5
For as the passions of Christ be plenteous in us, so also by Christ our comfort is plenteous.
