2 Corinthians 1:3-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
3
Blessed
be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
4
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.
5
For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.
6
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;
7
and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are partners in our sufferings, so also you are in our comfort.
8
For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers
and sisters,
of our affliction which occurred in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.
King James Version
Chapter 1
3
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4
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.
5
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6
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.
7
And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
8
For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.
4
He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive 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 produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.
7
And our hope for you is firm, because we know that as you share in the sufferings, so you will also share in the comfort.
8
We don’t want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our affliction that took place in Asia. We were completely overwhelmed—beyond our strength —so that we even despaired of life itself.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
3
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.
4
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
5
For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.
6
Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer.
7
We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.
8
We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
4
who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5
For as we share abundantly in Christ 's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.
6
If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.
7
Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.
8
For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself.
New International Version
Chapter 1
3
Praise be to 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 receive from God.
5
For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
6
If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.
7
And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
8
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.
New King James Version

3
Blessed
be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
4
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.
5
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.
6
Now if we are afflicted,
it is
for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
7
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.
8
For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.
