³⁶ You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.

God Offers Comfort to All

³ All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. ⁴ He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.

³² Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
