Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the merciful Father, and the God always ready to comfort! ⁴ He comforts me in all my trouble, so that I can comfort people who are in any trouble with the comfort with which I myself am comforted by God. ⁵ For if I have a liberal share of Christ's sufferings, through Christ I have a liberal share of comfort too.
