1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

2 to the congregation of God that is at Corinth, to called men, to holy men who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus with all in every place who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ--both ours and theirs.

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God always about you, for the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,

5 that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge.

6 Just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

7 so that ye come behind in not one gift, waiting for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

8 who will also confirm you until the end, irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
