3 Blessed be God the father of our Lord Jesus the Christ, father of mercy, and the God of all comfort,
4 which comforteth us in all our tribulation, insomuch that we are able to comfort them which are troubled, in whatsoever tribulation it be, with the same comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 For as the afflictions of Christ are plenteous in us: even so is our consolation plenteous by Christ.
6 Whether we be troubled for your consolation and salvation, which salvation showeth her power in that ye suffer the same afflictions which we also suffer; or whether we be comforted for your consolation and salvation:
7 yet our hope is steadfast for you inasmuch as we know how, that as ye have your part in afflictions, so shall ye be partakers of consolation.
