Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 1:2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.Grace to you and peace ... Broomall has an excellent comment on this, as follows:In the protocol of salvation, recognized even in a salutation, GRACE always precedes PEACE. The former is the basis and the foundation of the latter. Therefore, the order cannot be changed. No man can have peace who has not previously experienced divine grace.[9]God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ ... "It should be noticed that the deity of... read more

A. Salutation 1:1-2This salutation contains the three elements common in all of Paul’s epistles and other correspondence of his day: the writer, the addressees, and a greeting."This salutation exhibits undoubted resemblances in form to secular letters that have come down to us from the same period. But the differences are greater, and that in three respects. There is the firm assertion of Apostolic authority, the clear indication that those whom he addresses are not ordinary people but a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 1:2
This greeting expresses Paul’s wish that God’s grace and peace would be his readers’ portion. He named these benefits in the introductions to each one of his epistles. He meant sustaining grace rather than saving grace and the peace of God compared to peace with God."In the protocol of salvation, recognized even in a salutation, grace always precedes peace. The former is the basis and foundation of the latter; therefore, the order cannot be changed. No man can have peace who has not previously... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 1:1-24
Introductory Section2 Corinthians 1:1-11. Salutation and ThanksgivingAfter the usual epistolary introduction, St. Paul makes pointed reference to a severe trouble he has lately endured, and gives thanks to God for deliverance from it.1. By the will of God] He asserts his divine call to office in presence of opposition: cp. 1 Corinthians 1:1; Galatians 1:1, and contrast Philippians 1:1; 1 Thessalonians 1:1, in cases where his relations to the Church were happy.

Comfort 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 I. The Relation of Comfort to Trouble. When we deal with sorrow, not merely as a practical but as a personal fact, no general considerations suffice; speculation is powerless to assuage grief. We only know it is there, and we must either have it taken away or must be taught how to bear it; in other words, we feel the pain, and we long after either happiness or comfort. And of the two it is not happiness but comfort that God has appointed for us. With Christ,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:1-7
Chapter 1 SUFFERING AND CONSOLATION.2 Corinthians 1:1-7 (R.V)THE greeting with which St. Paul introduces his Epistles is much alike in them all, but it never becomes a mere formality, and ought not to pass unregarded as such. It describes, as a rule, the character in which he writes, and the character in which his correspondents are addressed. Here he is an apostle of Jesus Christ, divinely commissioned; and he addresses a Christian community at Corinth, including in it, for the purposes of his... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:1-11
1:1-11 INTRODUCTION AND ENCOURAGEMENTPaul greets the Corinthian church, along with other Christians in Achaia, in the name of the God of all comfort (1:1-3). One reason why Christians suffer all kinds of troubles is that they may know how to sympathize with and help others who are similarly troubled. Just as they share in Christ’s sufferings, so they can share in his comfort (4-5). When the Corinthians see the divine comfort Paul experiences in his sufferings, they should be encouraged to bear... read more
