God as the Source of All Comfort. Suffering with Christ Leads to Consolation. Paul’s Integrity and Sincerity in Ministry. 

"For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 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." - 2 Corinthians 1:5-6
