Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
-
To 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:
-
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Thanksgiving
I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.
-
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.
-
He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
-
A Church Divided Over Leaders
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.
-
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
-
For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
-
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
-
Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
-
For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.
-
For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this.
-
So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,
-
And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
-
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
-
Paul’s Rights as an Apostle
Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord?
-
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
-
Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
-
I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
-
My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
