2 Corinthians 1:2-4

Living Bible

² May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ mightily bless each one of you and give you peace.

^3-4 What a wonderful God we have—he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials. And why does he do this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us.
