1 Corinthians
Chapter One
1 Corinthians 1:1-9
* * *
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 holy, 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 God for you because of his grace given you
in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched in every
way-in all your speaking and in all your knowledge-6 because
our testimony about Christ was confirmed in 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 keep
you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the
day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God, who has called you into
fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
