1. From Paul, chosen by God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from Sosthenes, who is also a follower.
2. To God's church in Corinth. Christ Jesus chose you to be his very own people, and you worship in his name, as we and all others do who call him Lord.
3. My prayer is that God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!
4. I never stop thanking my God for being kind enough to give you Christ Jesus,
5. who helps you speak and understand so well.
6. Now you are certain that everything we told you about our Lord Christ Jesus is true.
7. You are not missing out on any blessings, as you wait for him to return.
