2 Corinthians 1:4

²  Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

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 them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of 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.
