³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort; ⁴ Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ⁵ For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater. ⁶ But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo: ⁷ And our hope for you is certain; in the knowledge that as you take part in the troubles, so you will take part in the comfort. ⁸ For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life: ⁹ Yes, we ourselves have had the answer of death in ourselves, so that our hope might not be in ourselves, but in God who is able to give life to the dead: ¹⁰ Who gave us salvation from so great a death: on whom we have put our hope that he will still go on to give us salvation; ¹¹ You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them. ¹² For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.
