Appeal to Unity

Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

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

I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who will also confirm you to the end, blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.

But it is due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

Paul’s Use of Freedom

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

The Lord’s Supper

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread;

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

I affirm, brothers and sisters, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that I die daily.

but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
