Book 46 1 Corinthians
001:001 Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will
of God--and our brother Sosthenes:
001:002 To the Church of God in Corinth, men and women consecrated
in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all in every
place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ--
their Lord as well as ours.
001:003 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
001:004 I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God
bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--
001:005 that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness
of speech and fulness of knowledge.
001:006 Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed
in your experience,
001:007 so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come
short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
001:008 who will also keep you stedfast to the very End, so that you
will be free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
001:009 God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that
you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his
Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.
001:010 Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
to cultivate a spirit of harmony--all of you--and that there
be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through
your having one mind and one judgement.
001:011 For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you
by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.
001:012 What I mean is that each of you is a partisan.
