NSB(i)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.
4 He comforts us in all our trouble, that we may be able to comfort those who also have trouble, through the comfort with which we are comforted from God.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort. It works through patience and longsuffering and is the same sufferings that we also suffer.
7 Our hope for you is steadfast; knowing that, as you are partakers of the sufferings, so you also partake of the comfort.
