Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 1:3 Go To 2 Corinthians 1
Didymus the Blind
AD 398
God alone is holy and good, sanctifying others and making them good. He alone is blessed, because he gives blessing and does not receive it from someone else. Likewise, he is the Father of mercies by nature, because he is the source of all mercy and not because he has acquired this from anyone else. .
