The verses around 2 Corinthians 1:3.
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
Verse explanation
Paul begins with praise, not complaint, calling God “the Father of mercies” and “the God of all comfort” — already introducing the chapter's main theme: the comfort that comes from God in the midst of suffering.
From the 2 Corinthians 1 study in Bible in Stories.
