What God Can Do
2 Corinthians 1:3-11 (NIV)
The God of All Comfort
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our
troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort
we ourselves have received from God. 5For just as the sufferings of
Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort
overflows. 6If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation;
if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you
patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7And our hope for
you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings,
so also you share in our comfort.
8We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships
we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far
beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.
9Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened
that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
10He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us.
On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, 11as
you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our[a] behalf
for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
