Text and translations

German text 3 Benedictus Deus et pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, pater misericordiarum et Deus totius consolationis, 4 qui consolatur nos in omni tribulatione nostra ut possimus et ipsi consolari eos qui in omni pressura sunt per exhortationem qua exhortamur et ipsi a Deo. 5 Quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis, ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra 6 sive autem tribulamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute.

German translation 3 Gelobet sei Gott und der Vater unsers Herrn Jesu Christi, der Vater der Barmherzigkeit und Gott allen Trostes, 4 der uns tröstet in aller unserer Trübsal, dass wir auch trösten können, die da sind in allerlei Trübsal, mit dem Trost, damit wir getröstet werden von Gott. 5 Denn gleich wie wir des Leidens Christi viel haben, also werden wir auch reichlich getröstet durch Christum. 6 Wir haben aber Trübsal oder Trost, so geschieht es euch zugute. Luther-Bibel 1545

English translation 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation; that we also may be able to comfort them who are in all distress, by the exhortation wherewith we also are exhorted by God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us: so also by Christ doth our comfort abound. 6 Now whether we be in tribulation, it is for your exhortation and salvation.
