3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,
4 who comforts me in all my distress, so that I am able to comfort people who are in any distress by the comfort with which I myself am comforted by God.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ are abundant in my case, so my comfort is also abundant through Christ.
6 If I am in distress, it is in the interests of your comfort and salvation; if I am comforted, it is in the interests of your comfort, which is effective as it nerves you to endure the same sufferings as I suffer myself.
7 Hence my hope for you is well-founded, since I know that as you share the sufferings you share the comfort also.
