You help us by prayer

We set our hope in His deliverance.

To make us rely on God.

We don’t want you to be ignorant of our severe affliction.

Our hope for you is unshaken.

Our affliction is for your comfort.

We share in comfort in Christ.

Celebrating devine comfort.

Deliverance from affliction.

f Blessed be the g God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and h God of all comfort ,

i who comforts us in all our affliction,

so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction,

with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

it is for your comfort and salvation;

I have noticed kuya that you did not make a comment on the biggest arcs, and also the second bigger arcs..I’m hoping that means it is correct.

Brent Karding

Overall, yes, I'd say they're correct. I'm just looking again, and I'm not sure that 8a and following are an Explanation of all of 3-7. I agree that it's an explanation, but I think it is connected to a smaller unit, like perhaps 7.

Mildred Queenie CS

This is hard kuya. If v.8-11 is indeed series, then the mainpoints are: (a) we don’t want you to be unaware of our affliction. (b) you also must help us by prayer. In this case, it is hard to find out as to where it will be connected next.

Mildred Queenie CS

Thanks kuya. This comments help a lot.

Brent Karding

Excellent work in verse 11. I would only say that Ac-Pur is better than Ac-Res, since surely the statement of many giving thanks would motivate the Corinthians to give, so that other people's thankfulness would be the purpose of their giving.

Mildred Queenie CS

I thought it is Ac-res kuya because when I look-up for the conjunction “so that”, the meaning refers to a Result. I’m a little bit confused kuya as to when to follow the meaning of the word and the meaning through context clues. I’m sorry kuya.

Brent Karding

Yes, result is one possibility. But purpose is also possible with "so that." The key is to look at whether the Action has a motivation behind it, thus Purpose.

Mildred Queenie CS

Yes kuya, I will remember it. Motivation.

Brent Karding

Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death.

Verse 9 isn't the Purpose of 8b-c, since 9a doesn't fit as part of a purpose. But 9b-d is the Purpose of 9a. It would be better to have Id-Exp to relate 8b-c to 9.

Mildred Queenie CS

Wow, this is a nice thought kuya.

Brent Karding

The rest of verses 3-7 are very good! I like your Ac-Res in 5-6, and your Inference in 5-7.

Mildred Queenie CS

Thanks kuya!

Brent Karding

and if we are comforted,

6a-b and 6c-f are contrasted, with affliction and comfort in each section. Thus Neg-Pos would be a good choice.

Mildred Queenie CS

Yeah, I only see it now.

Brent Karding

If we are afflicted,

I would call this an Ac-Res, since the result of Paul's affliction is the "comfort and salvation" of the Corinthians. Same with 6c-f.

Mildred Queenie CS

Yes kuya.
