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

2To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours:

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

4I thank my God always for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus,

5because in him you were enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,

6just as the testimony about Messiah was confirmed among you,

7so that you do not lack any gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8who will also establish you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
