1. Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2. to the church of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all those everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.
3. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4. I give thanks to my God always on your account for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus,
5. that in him you were enriched in every way, with all discourse and all knowledge,
6. as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you,
7. so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8. He will keep you firm to the end, irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus [Christ].
