⁴ⁱWho comforteth us in all our tribulation, ^jthat we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, ⁱby the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. ⁵For as ^kthe sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. ⁶And whether we be afflicted, ^l^mit is for your consolation and ^msalvation, which ^||ⁿis effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

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.

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.

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. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. 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.
