2 Corinthians 1:3-7

Murdock(i) 3 Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation; 4 who comforteth us in all our afflictions, that we also might be able to comfort those who are in all afflictions, with the consolation wherewith we are comforted by God. 5 For, as the sufferings of the Messiah abound in us, so also our consolation aboundeth by the Messiah. 6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and for your life that we are afflicted; or whether we be comforted, it is, that ye may be comforted; and that there may be in you an eagerness, wherewith ye may endure those sufferings which we also suffer. 7 And our hope concerning you is steadfast: for we know, that if ye partake of the sufferings, ye will also partake of the consolation.
