2 Corinthians 1:3-7

[3] Blessed  be God,  even  the Father  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the Father  of mercies,  and  the God  of all  comfort;  [4] Who  comforteth  in  all  tribulation,  that  may be able  to comfort  them which are in  any  trouble,  by  the comfort  wherewith  ourselves  are comforted  of  God.  [5] For  as  the sufferings  of Christ  abound  in  so  consolation  also  aboundeth  by  Christ.  [6] And  whether  we be afflicted,  it is for  consolation  and  salvation,  which  is effectual  in  the enduring  of the same  sufferings  which  also  suffer:  or whether  we be comforted,  it is for  consolation  and  salvation.  [7] And  hope  of  is stedfast,  knowing,  that  partakers  of the sufferings,  so  shall ye be also  of the consolation.
