Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:

To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
