2 Corinthians 1:5-8 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ. ⁶ And whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effectual in the patient enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. ⁷ And our hope concerning you is stedfast, knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the comfort. ⁸ For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of the trouble which befell us in Asia, that we were exceedingly pressed, above our strength, so that we despaired even of life.
