1 Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes, [our] brother,

2 unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to those that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

3 Grace [be] unto you and peace from God our Father and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which is given you in Christ Jesus,

5 that in every thing ye are enriched in him in all word and [in] all knowledge,

6 with which the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,

7 so that ye lack nothing in any gift, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

8 who shall also confirm that [ye shall remain] unimpeachable unto the end, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
