Nearby Context

2 Corinthians 1:1 Pavl an Apostle of JESVS Christ, by the will of God, and our brother Timotheus, to the Church of God, which is at Corinthus with all the Saints, which are in all Achaia:

2 Corinthians 1:2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort,

2 Corinthians 1:4 Which comforteth vs in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any affliction by the comfort wherewith we our selues are comforted of God.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "grace", "peace", "father", "lord", "iesus", and "christ". It is saying that salvation is received as God's gift through faith, so boasting is pushed out by the wording itself.

The nearby context moves from verse 1's "Pavl an Apostle of JESVS Christ by..." into verse 3's "Blessed be God euen the Father of...", so "grace" and "peace" belong inside that flow. In 2 Corinthians context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "grace" and "peace" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
