2 Corinthians 1:3-10

New American Standard Bible

^3 (A)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and ^(B)God of all comfort, ⁴ who ^(C)comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in ^[a]any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ⁵ For just ^(D)as the sufferings of Christ are ^[b]ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. ⁶ But if we are afflicted, it is ^(E)for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; ⁷ and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that ^(F)as you are partners in our sufferings, so also you are in our comfort.

⁸ For ^(G)we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our ^(H)affliction which occurred in ^[c](I)Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. ^9 [d]Indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead, ¹⁰ who ^(J)rescued us from so great a danger of death, and will rescue us, He ^[e](K)on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,
