2 Corinthians 1:3-7

3Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

4who comforts us in all our troubles so that we may be able to comfort those experiencing any trouble with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow toward us, so also our comfort through Christ overflows to you.

6But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort that you experience in your patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.

7And our hope for you is steadfast because we know that as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.
