3 Worthy of praise the God and Father of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,
4 the one comforting us in all the affliction of us, in order that to be able us to comfort those in every affliction, by means of the comfort, of which we are comforted ourselves by the God;
5 because as abounds the sufferings of the Anointed in us, so by means of the Anointed abounds also the comfort of us.
6 Whether but we are afflicted, on behalf of the of you comfort, and salvation; whether we are comforted, on behalf of the of you comfort, of that operating patient endurance of the same sufferings, which also we suffer; (and the hope of us stedfast on behalf of you;)
7 knowing, that as partakers you are of the sufferings, so also of the comfort.
