2Cor.1:1. Paul the Apostle, not through Jesus Christ, but Jesus Christ through the will of God, He says this in order to express his closeness (to Christ) and eliminate the idea that he is a stranger to Him. that is, Saint Paul humiliated himself, for he wrote his name next to his brother (Timothy) in his letter to the persecuted Corinthians. The Church of God, which is in Corinth, which was subject to disaster, and the saints, who are in the countries of Achaia, enduring suffering and persecution with patience. 2Cor.1:2. Grace and peace to you from God our Father, who made you worthy to be adopted as sons by him, and (from) our Lord Jesus Christ, who has made you His neighbors and joint heirs. 2Cor.1:3. Blessed be the God...Jesus The words: “Peace be to you from God our Father... Jesus Christ” (2 Cor. 1:2) seem to contain an explanation of what he now says: 2Cor.1:4. He who consoles us in all our sorrows is ours - either through the disciples who multiplied among them, or through the powers and miracles performed through them - So that we may console others who are in... sorrow... the word heard from us, and the patience in suffering that they see in us, and those and prayers, that is, for the sake of those prayers 1, which we send up to God for you, so that you may be able to endure as we do. 2Cor.1:5. because, just as... the sufferings of Christ multiply in us, so through Christ our prayer 2 is multiplied, that is, it opens the door to what we ask. 2Cor.1:6. After all, if we [grieve], then for the sake of your consolation and salvation we grieve, so that when you look at us, you imitate us, and so that you have the strength to suffered the same sufferings that we, more than you, endure. 2Cor.1:7. And this hope of ours, which was about you, became firm, for we know that if we find ourselves participants in suffering, then we will also be (participants) in... consolation, that is, we will receive consolation. 2Cor.1:8. This I tell you, brethren... about our sorrow that was in Asia, because... beyond our strength we... were... burdened... 2 Corinthians 1:9. But in ourselves, for the sake of many torments, we were condemned to death, for we did not rely on... ourselves that we could endure it in the flesh, but on God, who raises the dead, that is, that He will give us life from the dead, since He made us saved as from the dead, and saved us. 2 Corinthians 1:10. Who... from so many... deaths (mortal dangers) that threatened us, delivered us - and will also deliver us from those that will threaten, 2Cor.1:11. with the assistance of... prayers... yours: so that from the diverse grace, the gifts of God were poured out on us in the greatest abundance - I mean not those grace-filled gifts that are in us for our sake, but these are those grace-filled gifts that act in us for the sake of many, so that for us alone many give thanks Him, and He is glorified by many for our sake. 2Cor.1:12. For the praise is ours does not come from others who do not know us, but our praise there is evidence of our conscience that in holiness body and soul, undefiled by anything, and in truth, not involved in the vice of partiality 3, and which we mercifully extended to everyone - these are all the qualities we showed when turned to the world - not in the wisdom of clothing we appeared, that is, not with hypocrisy or human cunning. We have never resorted to such means anywhere, least of all with you. 2 Corinthians 1:13. For nothing else... I write to you... than that we have done with you, but you (yourselves) bear witness to the very thing that we write to you, namely: 2 Corinthians 1:19. The Son of God is Jesus the Christ, who through me and Silvanus 4 and Timothy I have preached to you. Not that (I want to say) that they entered Corinth together (with me), but (that Christ) was not preached to you in "yes" and "no", but in "yes", 2Cor.1:20. Because all the promises of God are “yes” in Him, that is, confirmed and fulfilled, and did not turn out to be false, therefore this very thing that is true is precisely “Amen” in us to the glory of God, that is, its consequence is the glorification of God. 2Cor.1:21. For God... confirms you and me through you and me, strong in virtue, - 2 Corinthians 1:22. Who... anointed and sealed us through the pledge of the Spirit, and gave (a pledge) into our hearts. 2 Corinthians 1:23. I call God to witness... against my soul, that, sparing you... I did not come... to Corinth, that is, because of those shortcomings of theirs, which he condemned and of which he exposed them in the First Epistle. 2Cor.1:24. For although we do not rule over your faith, we nevertheless prove to be followers of your joy, for by faith (you) stand, - that is, by the faith (in the faith) that I gave you (firm).
