vw - 2Corinthians:1:3-11

vw@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions and God of all comfort,

vw@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who encourages us in all our affliction, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any affliction, through the comfort by which we ourselves are encouraged by God.

vw@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

vw@2Corinthians:1:6 @ Now if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation, being effective in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are encouraged, it is for your comfort and salvation.

vw@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the comfort.

vw@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened exceedingly, beyond strength, so that we despaired even of life.

vw@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,

vw@2Corinthians:1:10 @ who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us, in whom we hope that He will still deliver us,

vw@2Corinthians:1:11 @ you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given through many persons on our behalf for the gracious gift granted to us by many.
