Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:
2
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
4
who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
5
For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
