For as many things as were written before were written for our instruction, that through endurance and througha comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.

WK Translation Notes

a
Some of the best authorities introduce a second "through," and there certainly should be an article before comfort, whereas patience, or endurance, though it has one in Greek, requires none here in English. And the same principle applies to the last expression, which most decidedly ought to be "hope," not a particular expectation, the abstract thing, which in our language excludes, and in Greek demands, the article.
