2 Corinthians 1:5 ASV

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

⁴  who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

⁵  For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.

⁶  But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:

⁷  and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.
