16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
