Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:3-7

CRITICAL NOTES2 Corinthians 1:3.—John calls the Son a “Comforter” (1 John 2:1). Christ calls the Spirit a “Comforter” (John 14:16, “another” also implying that He Himself had been such to the disciples). Here Paul calls the Father a “Comforter.” Notice how “comfort” runs through 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 (disguised as “consolation” in A.V.); parallel to the repeated “affliction” (same in original as “tribulation,” “trouble”). Mercies.—Also Romans 12:1; Philippians 2:1; Colossians 3:12; Hebrews... read more
