Comfort in Suffering
2 Corinthians 1:3-7
3 "Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies
and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all
our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any
trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us,
so our consolation also abounds through Christ. 6
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. 7
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."
