John 16:20-22

20Truly, truly, I say to you, ayou will weep and lament, but bthe world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but cyour sorrow will turn into joy. 21 dWhen a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 eSo also you have sorrow now, but fI will see you again, and gyour hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

2 Corinthians 1:4-5

4 hwho comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5For as we share abundantly in iChrist’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. ▼
▼Or For as the sufferings of Christ abound for us, so also our comfort abounds through Christ

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

16Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, kwho loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good lhope through grace, 17comfort your hearts and mestablish them in every good work and word.
