⁵ For just ^(A)as the sufferings of Christ are ^[a]ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.

⁷ and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that ^(A)as you are partners in our sufferings, so also you are in our comfort.

¹⁰ that I may ^(A)know Him and ^(B)the power of His resurrection and ^[a](C)the fellowship of His sufferings, being ^(D)conformed to His death;

^24 (A)Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh ^(B)I am supplementing what is lacking ^[a]in Christ’s afflictions in behalf of ^(C)His body, which is the church.

¹³ but to the degree that you ^(A)share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that at the ^(B)revelation of His glory ^(C)you may also rejoice and be overjoyed.
