comfort

BLESSED

be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the Father of mercies

and God of all comfort,

who comforts us in all our tribulation,

THAT

we may be able to comfort

those who are in any trouble,

with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted

by God.

FOR

as the sufferings of Christ abound in us,

SO [also]

our consolation also abounds

through Christ.

NOW [therefore]

if we are afflicted,

it is for your consolation and salvation

which is effective

for enduring

the same sufferings which we also suffer.

OR [likewise]

if we are comforted,

it is for your consolation and salvation.

AND

our hope for you is steadfast,

BECAUSE

we know

that as you are partakers of the sufferings,

SO ALSO

you will partake of the consolation.

FOR

we do not want you to be ignorant,

brethren,

of our trouble

which came to us in Asia:

[which is this:]

that we were burdened beyond measure,

above strength,

so that we despaired,

even of life.

YES, [you'd better believe it]

we had the sentence of death

in ourselves [within us, in our very beings]

[so] THAT

we should not trust in ourselves

BUT in God

who raises the dead,

who delivered us from so great a death,

and does [still, continually] deliver us;

in whom we trust that He

WILL STILL

deliver us,

you also helping

together

in prayer for us,

THAT

thanks may be given

by many persons

on our behalf

for the gift

granted to us

through many.
