2 Corinthians 1:1-4

The God of All Comfort and Apostolic Integrity

Paul blesses God for comfort in affliction, explains how suffering taught him reliance on the God who raises the dead, defends his sincerity, and grounds his pastoral integrity in God's unfailing Yes in Christ.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1Paul, 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:

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

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
