Greeting

1 Paul, 1called 2by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes,
2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those 3sanctified in Christ Jesus, 4called to be saints together with all those who in every place 5call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
3 6Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving

4 I 7give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,
5 that in every way 8you were enriched in him in all 9speech and all knowledge--
6 even as 10the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you--
7 so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you 11wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
8 12who will sustain you to the end, 13guiltless 14in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 15God is faithful, by whom you were called into the 16fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
