Because even as the sufferings of Christ [for righteousness’ sake endured in the opposition of sinners to His ministry on earth] overflow to us, thus our consolation and encouragement [given to others] overflow through Christ. |

For just as my sufferings for Christ are running over the cup, so through Christ my comfort is running over too. |
