2 Corinthians 1:6

Compare all

4 who ^acomforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any¹ trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 For as ^athe sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our¹ consolation also abounds through Christ.

6 Now if we are afflicted, ^ait is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that ^aas you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.

Delivered from Suffering

8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of ^aour trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should ^anot trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,

And whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation - For your present comfort, your present and future salvation. Or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort - That we may be the better able to comfort you. Which is effectual in the patient enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer - Through the efficacy of which you patiently endure the same kind of sufferings with us.
