⁴ who ^(A)comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any ^[a]trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

⁶ Nevertheless ^(A)God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by ^(B)the coming of Titus, ⁷ and not only by his coming, but also by the ^[a]consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

¹¹ Therefore ^[a]comfort each other and ^[b]edify one another, just as you also are doing.

¹⁶ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, ^(A)who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and ^(B)good hope by grace, ¹⁷ comfort your hearts ^(C)and ^[a]establish you in every good word and work.
