If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.

If we are having trouble, it is so that you will be comforted and renewed. If we are comforted, it is so that you will be comforted. Then you will be able to put up with the same suffering we have gone through.

If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.

Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer.

If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer;

Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:

If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is experienced in your endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.

And whether we be afflicted,[ it is] for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted,[ it is] for your consolation and salvation.

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort that you experience in your patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

予之忍受一切、實為選民之故、欲使其恃基督耶穌以邀天恩、而承無疆之休。

天主慰吾儕於憂患之中、亦欲吾儕以所見慰於天主者、轉慰他人於憂患中耳。

蓋萬事莫非為爾等之故、亦欲使聖寵廣被元元、俾萬眾一心、稱謝天主之光榮云耳。因此吾人中心不餒；外形雖萎、而靈心則日新又新矣。蓋目前所受之區區苦痛、所以為吾人作成無量之榮福也。第吾人所仰慕者、非形而下之事、乃形而上之事；蓋形而下者暫而不久、而形而上者則永生靡暨也。

且予固知因爾等之虔求、並賴耶穌基督之神助、一切境遇、無非玉我於成、俾獲靈救、

夫天主之所以創造吾人者、正為此事；且已授吾人以聖神為其保證。

不寧惟是、吾人亦知人苟能真心愛天主、則天主必使天地萬物同力相助、而亨通之。

夫肉身之父之教訓吾人也，不過數春、且多憑其私意而行之；若夫天主之所為、則必於吾人為有益、欲使吾人同化於彼之聖德耳。受訓之時雖不感愉快、但感苦痛；然既經訓練、則必收平安之果、即仁義是已。

吾為爾等靈魂之故、固不惜任何之犧牲、即犧牲本身、亦所甘心。豈吾之愛爾愈厚、而爾之愛我愈薄耶？

是故切勿因人而誇也；應知萬物皆備於爾矣。葆樂也、亞波羅也、基法也、宇宙也、生也、死也、現在也、將來也、一切之一切也、皆屬於爾矣、爾則屬於基督、而基督屬於天主。

故望爾等勿因吾為爾受難、而頹然沮喪。應知吾之受難、爾亦與有榮焉。

不寧惟是、吾人雖處患難、心中恆有至樂。蓋知患難所以生堅忍、堅忍所以致純熟、純熟則有望、有望則決無失望之虞矣。蓋天主之愛、已憑其所賜於吾人之聖神、而沛然傾注於吾人之心矣。

既留有日仍起程行；眾挈妻兒送至郊外、吾儕跽岸祈禱、
