2 Corinthians 1:3-6

God of All Comfort

³ _f Blessed be the _g God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and _h God of all comfort, ⁴ _i 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 _j Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. ₁ ⁶ _k 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.
