1 Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes, his brother.

2 to the Church of God at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.

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

4 I am always thanking God on your behalf, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus;

5 that in everything you have been enriched in him, in all speech, and in all knowledge

6 (for thus my witness for Christ was confirmed among you);

7 so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreprovable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
