24/08/2014 AM: Comfort From The Lord
2 Corinthians 1:3-11
                    New King James Version (NKJV)
                    Comfort in Suffering
                    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.
                    Delivered from Suffering
                    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. 9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves,
                        that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, 10 who delivered us from so great a death, and
                        does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still
                        deliver us, 11 you also helping together in
                        prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the
                        gift granted to us through many.
