*
Blessed be God ,
even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
the Father of mercies ,
and the God of all comfort ;
*
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation ,
that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble ,
by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God .
*
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us ,
so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ .
*
And whether we be afflicted ,
it is for your consolation and salvation ,
which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer :
or whether we be comforted ,
it is for your consolation and salvation .
*
And our hope of you is stedfast ,
knowing ,
that as ye are partakers of the sufferings ,
so shall ye be also of the consolation .
*
For we would not ,
brethren ,
have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia ,
that we were pressed out of measure ,
above strength ,
insomuch that we despaired even of life :
*
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves ,
that we should not trust in ourselves ,
but in God which raiseth the dead :
*
Who delivered us from so great a death ,
and doth deliver :
in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us ;
*
Ye also helping together by prayer for us ,
that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf .
