2 Corinthians 7:4

⁴who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

¹²Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

²Count it all joy, my brothers,^[+] when you fall into various temptations,

¹⁷Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

²⁴Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

⁴I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

¹⁰as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

¹¹Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.

²⁴Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.

¹⁴Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

²¹To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
