Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in the whole of Achaia:

2

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3

Blessedbethe God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;

4

who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

5

For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.

6

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

7

and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.
