Webster’s dictionary defines consolation as “the comfort received by a person after a loss or disappointment.” In the KJV, consolation is translated in the place of encouragement. Although the translations of KJV and NIV differ in word choice, combining of the two gives us a more solid picture of what Paul is saying. The consolation (comfort) and the encouragement (in the (relationship) helps us to realize that Christ’s comfort is an attribute important to understand and lean towards in the midst of our troubles in this world. The consolation of Israel, as Simeon refers to in Luke 2:25, was the name given to the Messiah, the person who would rise up and bring Israel back into its splendor.
