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

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

who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

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 just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer;

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 for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are partners in our sufferings, so also you are in our comfort.

And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
