2 Corinthians 1 4
who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

1 Corinthians 4 9-1 Corinthians 4 13
For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, both to angels and men.We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor.Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling- place;and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.

2 Timothy 3 10-2 Timothy 3 12
But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,persecutions, sufferings; what things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: and out of them all the Lord delivered me.Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Therefore we have been comforted: and in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.

2 Corinthians 11 23-2 Corinthians 11 28
Are they ministers of Christ?( I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft.Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep;in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my countrymen, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.Besides those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches.

Acts 17:4-10
And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took unto them certain vile fellows of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city on an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them forth to the people.And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;whom Jason hath received: and these all act contrary to the decrees of Cæsar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

2 Corinthians 7 6-2 Corinthians 7 7
Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, even God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more.

1 Thessalonians 3 8-1 Thessalonians 3 9
for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.For what thanksgiving can we render again unto God for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
