1 Corinthians 1:2-9

2To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people, together with all those everywhere 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 his grace given you in Christ Jesus.

5For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge—

6God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you.

7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

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

9God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
