1 Corinthians 1:3 In-Context

1 I, Paul, have been called and sent by Jesus, the Messiah, according to God's plan, along with my friend Sosthenes.

2 I send this letter to you in God's church at Corinth, Christians cleaned up by Jesus and set apart for a God-filled life. I include in my greeting all who call out to Jesus, wherever they live. He's their Master as well as ours!

3 May all the gifts and benefits that come from God our Father, and the Master, Jesus Christ, be yours.

4 Every time I think of you - and I think of you often! - I thank God for your lives of free and open access to God, given by Jesus.

5 There's no end to what has happened in you - it's beyond speech, beyond knowledge.
