1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience. And our hope for you is sure; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort and salvation, 7 because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort. 2 Corinthians 1:1-7, Majority Standard Bible.
