1 Corinthians 1:1-9
Lexham English Bible

Greeting

1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 to the church of God sanctified in Christ Jesus that is in Corinth,[a] called to be saints, together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord[b] and ours. 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving for the Corinthian Believers

4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you, because of the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus, 5 that[c] in everything you were made rich in him, in all speech and all knowledge, 6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed in you, 7 so that you do not lack in any spiritual gift as you[d] eagerly await 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. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called to fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
