For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.

For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
