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

2 to the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called out with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

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

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

5 that in everything you are enriched by Him, [in] all speech and in all knowledge;

6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you;

7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 He shall also confirm you to [the] end, [that you may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
