⁶ But whether we are afflicted, it is ^(A)for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is working in your perseverance in the same sufferings which we also suffer.

¹⁷ But even if I am being ^(A)poured out as a drink offering upon ^(B)the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.

^24 (A)Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and ^(B)I fill up what is lacking of Christ’s afflictions in my flesh, on behalf of ^(C)His body, which is the church,

⁸ In this way, having fond affection for you, we were pleased to ^(A)impart to you not only the ^(B)gospel of God but also our own ^[a]lives, because you had become beloved to us.

¹⁰ For this reason ^(A)I endure all things for ^(B)the sake of the elect, ^(C)so that they also may obtain the ^(D)salvation, which is in ^(E)Christ Jesus, with ^(F)eternal glory.
