1 Corinthians 1:4-9

New International Reader's Version

Paul Gives Thanks

⁴ I always thank my God for you. I thank him because of the grace he has given to you who belong to Christ Jesus. ⁵ You have been blessed in every way because of him. You have been blessed in all your speech and knowledge. ⁶ God has shown that what we have spoken to you about Christ is true. ⁷ There is no gift of the Holy Spirit that you don’t have. You are full of hope as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come again. ⁸ God will also keep you strong in faith to the very end. Then you will be without blame on the day our Lord Jesus Christ returns. ⁹ God is faithful. He has chosen you to share life with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
