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
Cyril of Jerusalem
AD 386
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” For in the thought of God, let the thought of Father be included, so that the glory which we ascribe to the Father and the Son with the Holy Spirit may be perfectly free from difference. For the Father has not one glory and the Son another, but their glory is one and the same, since the Son is the Father’s solebegotten. When the Father is glorified, the Son shares in enjoyment of his glory, because the Son draws his glory from the honoring of the Father. Again, whenever the Son is glorified, the Father of so excellent a Son is greatly honored.
