2 Corinthians 1

The God of Comfort

3 Blessed be  * 1:3 Mk 14:61 the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies  * 1:3 Heb 10:28 and the God of all comfort.  * 1:3 Lk 2:254 He comforts us in all our affliction,  * 1:4 Or trouble, or tribulation, or trials, or oppression so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as the sufferings  * 1:5 Gl 5:24; Php 3:10 of Christ  * 1:5 Rm 8:17; 2Co 4:10; Gl 6:17; Php 3:10; Col 1:24 overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.  * 1:5 Php 1:296 If we are afflicted,  * 1:6 Heb 11:37 it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.  * 1:6 Php 1:297 And our hope  * 1:7 1Th 1:3 for you is firm, because we know that as you share  * 1:7 Phm 17 in the sufferings, so you will also share in the comfort.
