2 Corinthians 1:2 In-Context

1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by God's will, and Timothy our brother. To God's church that is in Corinth, along with all of God's people throughout Achaia.

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ.

3 May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be blessed! He is the compassionate Father and God of all comfort.

4 He's the one who comforts us in all our trouble so that we can comfort other people who are in every kind of trouble. We offer the same comfort that we ourselves received from God.

5 That is because we receive so much comfort through Christ in the same way that we share so many of Christ's sufferings.
