Translations
Whether we are in distress, it is for your comfort and salvation; whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort—a comfort that works itself out in patient endurance of the same sufferings we ourselves suffer.
Whether we are pressed down, it is for your consolation and deliverance; whether we are consoled, it is for your consolation—the consolation at work in you through patient endurance of the very same sufferings we also suffer.
And 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.
If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.
