2 Corinthians 1:6 English Standard Version (ESV) If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.
Look carefully at the words “same sufferings”. There are things which comfort us which might not comfort others. They might ever make them uncomfortable. These comforts to be shared have to be from shared experiences. Each of our experiences can be different even though many are exactly the same.
We must be careful in sharing comforts if we do not recognize the same suffering. The Lord does not wish for us to distress others.
2 Corinthians 12:1-7 English Standard Version
Paul’s Visions and His Thorn
1I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. 3 And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— 4 and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. 5 On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses— 6 though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth; but I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me. 7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.
Some truths do not comfort others. The purpose behind this section is to restrain us from harming others.
