I Corinthians 1:1-9
\nGreeting and Thanksgiving<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 04\/17\/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in I Corinthians 1:1-9.<\/span><\/p>\n

1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

2 to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, those having been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called-out saints, with all those calling on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours: <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

5 that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all discourse and all knowledge, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord, Jesus Christ, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

8 who also will confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
