2 Corinthians 1:3-7

21st Century King James Version

³ Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort,

⁴ who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted by God.

⁵ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

⁶ And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

⁷ And our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
