2 Corinthians 1:3-11
31Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and 2God of all comfort, 4who 3comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in 4any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5For just 5as the sufferings of Christ are 6ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. 6But if we are afflicted, it is 7for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; 7and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that 8as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort.
8For 9we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our 10affliction which came to us in 1112Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life; 913indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; 10who 14delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, 15He 16on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us, 11you also joining in 17helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by 18many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.
