1 Corinthians 1:1-9
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of CHRIST JESUS by the will of GOD , and
our brother Sosthenes,
2 To the church of GOD in Corinth, to those sanctified in CHRIST JESUS and
called to be HIS holy people, together with all those everywhere who call
on the name of OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST—THEIR LORD AND OURS:
3 Grace and peace to you from GOD OUR FATHER and THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

4 I always thank my GOD for
you because of HIS
GRACE given you in CHRIST JESUS.
5 For in HIM you have been
enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge—
6 GOD thus
confirming our testimony about CHRIST among you.
7 Therefore you do not lack any
spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST to be revealed.
8 HE will also keep you firm to the
end, so that you will be blameless on the day of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
9 GOD is faithful, WHO has called
you into fellowship with HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
