2 Corinthians 1:2-3; 2 Corinthians 6:18; 2 Corinthians 11:31 (King James Version)

2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
