2 Corinthians 1:3-6

God of All Comfort

3 1Blessed be the 2God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and 3God of all comfort,
4 4who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 For as we share abundantly in 5Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.[a]
6 6If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.
