2 Corinthians 1:3-7

Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles, for our being able to comfort others in trouble, with the comfort he has given us. For just as we share in the suffering of Christ, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If our troubles are heavy, it is for your comfort and salvation. When we are comforted, is for your comfort, so you can patiently endure the same suffering. Our hope for you is sure, knowing that just as you share in the suffering, you also share in the comfort.
