1:3 愿颂赞归与我们的主耶稣基督的父神,就是发慈悲的父,赐各样安慰的神。
1:4 我们在一切患难中,他就安慰我们,叫我们能用神所赐的安慰,去安慰那遭各样患难的人。
1:5 我们既多受基督的苦楚,就靠基督多得安慰。
1:6 我们受患难呢,是为叫你们得安慰得拯救。我们得安慰呢,也是为叫你们得安慰。这安慰能叫你们忍受我们所受的那样苦楚。
1:7 我们为你们所存的盼望是确定的。因为知道你们既是同受苦楚,也必同得安慰。
哥林多后书 4:16-18
4:16 所以我们不丧胆。外体虽然毁坏,内心却一天新似一天。
4:17 我们这至暂至轻的苦楚,要为我们成就极重无比永远的荣耀。
4:18 原来我们不是顾念所见的,乃是顾念所不见的。因为所见的是暂时的,所不见的是永远的。
2 Corinthians 1:3-7 (ESV)
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 affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. 6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. 7 Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (ESV)
16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
