Nearby Context

2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

2 Corinthians 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed <FI>is<Fi> God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "will of God", "paul", "apostle", "jesus", "christ", "through", "timotheus", and "brother". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "will of God" and "paul", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "Grace to you and peace from God...", so "will of God" and "paul" should be read forward into that movement. In 2 Corinthians context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

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