1.1 Argumentum Post actam a Corinthiis pœnitentiam, consolatoriam scribit eis Epistolam Apostolus a Troade per Titum; et collaudans eos hortatur ad meliora, contristatos quidem eos, sed emendatos ostendens. Paulus apostolus. Salutationem primo more solito præmittit. Inde de bonis per gratiam collatis gratias Deo agit loquens perfectis: post ad passionis tolerantiam sui exemplo invitat; postea pseudoapostolos deprimendo redarguit detegens versutias eorum. Et se multis modis commendat. Tandem moralis admonitio cum iteratione benedictionis subditur. Salutationem igitur præmittens, contra pseudosuperbiam, Paulum; et contra cordis præsumptionem, apostolum se nominat dicens: Paulus, etc.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
1:1-2 Letters in the first century usually began by mentioning the writer’s name and that of the person(s) addressed, followed by a greeting (see Acts 15:23; 23:25-26). Paul follows this pattern.
• Paul highlights his calling as an apostle; his status as God’s appointed agent for establishing the church had been challenged at Corinth.
