1. Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
2. to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
3. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4. I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
5. that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and 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. who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
