2 Corinthians 1:3-7

Modern English Version

Paul’s Thanksgiving After Affliction

³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the 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 by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ⁵ As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. ⁶ If we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective in enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. ⁷ Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that as you partake in the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
