3 Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation, who consoleth us in all our afflictions,

4 that we may be able to console those who are in all afflictions by that consolation by which we are consoled of Aloha.

5 For as the sufferings of the Meshiha abound in us, so, through the Meshiha, our consolation aboundeth also.

6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and for your salvation that we be afflicted: and if we are consoled, it is that you may be consoled, that there may be in you perseverance to endure those sufferings which we also suffer.

7 And our hope concerning you is steadfast: for we know that if you participate in the sufferings, you also participate in the consolation.
