God's Comfort and Deliverance in Affliction

2 Corinthians 1:1-11

1
Chapter 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and brother Timothy, to the church of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints throughout Achaia. 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, 4 the one who comforts us in all our tribulation, so that we may be able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 because just as the sufferings of Christ abound toward us, so through Christ our consolation also abounds. 6 whether we are afflicted, then, for your consolation and salvation; or whether we are consoled, for your consolation, which is produced in the endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer; 7 And our hope for you is firm, knowing that just as you are partners in the sufferings, so also you are partners in the consolation. 8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning our tribulation in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of living. 9 But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, so that we would not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead; 10 who delivered us from such a death and will deliver—on whom we have hoped that he will also still deliver— 11 you also joining in helping us through prayer, so that thanks may be given by many on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many persons.
