2 Corinthians 1:5-7

5Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.

6But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,

7(and our hope for you [is] sure;) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.
