Read in context

2 Corinthians 1:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

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

4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.

7 And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.
