⁵ For just as the sufferings^(A) of Christ^(B) overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.^(C)

⁷ And our hope^(A) for you is firm, because we know that as you share^(B) in the sufferings, so you will also share in the comfort.

¹⁰ My goal is to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings,^(A) being conformed to his death,^(B)

Paul’s Ministry

²⁴ Now I rejoice in my sufferings^(A) for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for his body,^(B) that is, the church.
