Greeting
1 Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2
to the church of God sanctified in Christ Jesus that is in Corinth, called [to be] saints, together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their [Lord] and ours.
3
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving for the Corinthian Believers
4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you, because of the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus,
5
that in everything you were made rich in him, in all speech and all knowledge,
6
just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed in you,
7
so that you do not lack in any spiritual gift [as you] eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
8
who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
