1 Corinthians 1:2-9

2To God’s church that was made holy by Christ Jesus and called to be God’s holy people in the city of Corinth and to people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

3Good will  and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ are yours!

4I always thank God for you because Christ Jesus has shown you God’s good will.

5Through Christ Jesus you have become rich in every way—in speech and knowledge of every kind.

6Our message about Christ has been verified among you.

7Therefore, you don’t lack any gift as you wait eagerly for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

8He will continue to give you strength until the end so that no one can accuse you of anything on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9God faithfully keeps his promises. He called you to be partners with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
