2 Corinthians 1:2-5

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord ­Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.
