“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.”
Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those who are in any trouble with the comfort ourselves receive from God — consolation flows bidirectionally: God comforts us so that we might become conduits of that same comfort to others. The Greek peripereia (trouble/affliction) and parakaleo (comfort/exhort) create a cyclical theology where suffering becomes the prerequisite for authentic ministry.
