He said to them,

⁴⁷ praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.^(A) And the Lord added to their number^(B) daily those who were being saved.

⁶ If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation;^(A) if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.
