- 2 Corinthians 1:1 See the declaration of such salutations in the former Epistles.
- 2 Corinthians 1:3 He beginneth after his manner with thanksgiving, which notwithstanding (otherwise than he was wont) he applieth to himself: beginning his Epistle with the setting forth of the dignity of his Apostleship, constrained (as it should seem) by their importunity, which took an occasion to despise him by reason of his miseries.

- 2 Corinthians 1:3 To him be praise and glory given.
- 2 Corinthians 1:3 Most merciful.
