4Who 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.
4who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

5For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
5For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.
5Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
6And 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.
6But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
6But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,
7And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
7and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.
7(and our hope for you [is] sure;) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.

8For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.
9But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

9But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but inGod who raises the dead;
10Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
10who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;
10who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
