1:5a For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us,

Indeed, just as the things Christ suffered abound in our (incl.) lives,
-or-
Because just as we suffer in the same ways that Christ suffered,

1:5b so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

so also through Christ our (incl.) comfort/encouragement abounds.
-or-
so also God abundantly comforts us through Christ ⌊our mediator⌋.
