2 Corinthians 1:3-7
English Standard Version
God of All Comfort
3 (A)Blessed be the (B)God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and (C)God of all comfort, 4 (D)who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as we share abundantly in (E)Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.[a] 6 (F)If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. 7 Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you (G)share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
The God of Comfort
3 Praise(A) the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies(B) and the God of all comfort.(C) 4 He comforts us in all our affliction,[a] so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For as the sufferings(D) of Christ(E) overflow to us, so through Christ our comfort also overflows.(F) 6 If we are afflicted,(G) it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is experienced in your endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.(H) 7 And our hope(I) for you is firm, because we know that as you share(J) in the sufferings, so you will share in the comfort.
