The God of All Comfort in Affliction

3

Blessed is God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,

4

who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

5

because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

6

and whether we be in tribulation, it is for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort and salvation;

7

and our hope is stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings--so also of the comfort.

8

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above our power, so that we despaired even of life;

9

but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

10

who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

11

ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged for us.
