2 Corinthians 1:3-11

3 1BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of merciesG3628 and 2GodG2316 of allG3956 comfortG3874, 4who 3comfortsG3870 us in allG3956 our afflictionG2347 soG1519 that we will be ableG1410 to comfortG3870 thoseG3588 who are in 4anyG3956 afflictionG2347 with the comfortG3874 with whichG3739 we ourselvesG846 are comfortedG3870 by GodG2316. 5For justG2531 5as the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547 are 6oursG1473 in abundanceG4052, soG3779 alsoG2532 our comfortG3874 is abundantG4052 throughG1223 ChristG5547. 6But ifG1535 we are afflictedG2346, it is 7for your comfortG3874 and salvationG4991; orG1535 ifG1535 we are comfortedG3870, it is for your comfortG3874, which is effectiveG1754 in the patientG5281 enduringG5281 of the sameG846 sufferingsG3804 whichG3739 we alsoG2532 sufferG3958; 7and our hopeG1680 for you is firmlyG949 groundedG949, knowingG3609 that 8as you are sharersG2844 of our sufferingsG3804, soG3779 alsoG2532 you are sharers of our comfortG3874.

8For 9we do not wantG2309 you to be unawareG50, brethrenG80, of our 10afflictionG2347 which cameG1096 to us in 11 12AsiaG773, that we were burdenedG916 excessivelyG2596 G5236, beyondG5228 our strengthG1411, soG5620 that we despairedG1820 evenG2532 of lifeG2198; 9 13indeedG235, we hadG2192 the sentenceG610 of deathG2288 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438 soG2443 that we would not trustG3982 in ourselvesG1438, but in GodG2316 who raisesG1453 the deadG3498; 10whoG3739 14deliveredG4506 us from soG5082 greatG5082 a peril of deathG2288, and will deliverG4506 us, 15He 16on whomG3739 we have setG1679 our hopeG1679. And He will yetG2089 deliverG4506 us, 11you alsoG2532 joiningG4943 in 17helpingG4943 us through your prayersG1162, soG2443 that thanksG2168 may be givenG2168 by 18manyG4183 personsG4383 on our behalfG5228 for the favorG5486 bestowedG1519 on us throughG1223 the prayers of manyG4183.
