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,  
10 awho delivered us from so great a death, and1 does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us,

2 Corinthians 1:6

we . . . afflicted . . . for your consolation—exemplifying the communion of saints. Their hearts were, so to speak, mirrors reflecting the likenesses of each other (Philippians 2:26-27) [BENGEL]. Alike the afflictions and the consolations of the apostle tend, as in him so in them, as having communion with him, to their consolation (II Corinthians 1:4; II Corinthians 4:15). The Greek for "afflicted" is the same as before, and ought to be translated, "Whether we be in tribulation."

which is effectual—literally, "worketh effectually."

in the enduring, etc.—that is, in enabling you to endure "the same sufferings which we also suffer." Here follows, in the oldest manuscripts (not as English Version in the beginning of II Corinthians 1:7), the clause, "And our hope is steadfast on your behalf."
