“I am the subject of depressions of spirit so fearful that I hope none of you ever get to such extremes of wretchedness as I go to.”

2 Corinthians 1:8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.

Verse 3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.

Paraklasis = “Comfort, strengthen” Paraklete = Holy Spirit

Verse 4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.

“God does not comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters.” --John Henry Jowett

Verses 5-6 For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer.
