2 Corinthians 1:4

2 CORINTHIANS—NOTE ON 2 Corinthians 1:4 us... our. Most of the plural first-person pronouns in 2 Corinthians 1:1 (“we,” “us,” “our”) seem to refer to Paul himself (see v. 2 Corinthians 1:8; 2 Corinthians 7:5). At times these plurals may also include Timothy (2 Corinthians 1:1), other ministry partners (vv. 2 Corinthians 1:19, 2 Corinthians 1:21), or Christians generally (2 Corinthians 5:1). In this verse, Paul probably uses the plural to indicate that he represents both the apostolic office and believers generally.
