| Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God. | Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. |
| For just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our consolation is abundant through Christ. | For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. |
Bible verse of the day
This God—his way is perfect;the promise of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
