Comfort in Suffering
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
God of All Comfort
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
who 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.
Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
If 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.
And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.

You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.
For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end
For we are not writing to you anything other than what you read and understand and I hope you will fully understand —
(as also you have understood us in part), that we are your boast as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
just as you did partially understand us — that on the day of our Lord Jesus you will boast of us as we will boast of you.

Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?
