1 Corinthians 1:2-9

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

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

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

5For you were made rich in every way in him, in all your speech and in every kind of knowledge –

6just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you –

7so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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