1 Corinthians 1

¹Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

²To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁴I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;

⁵So that in him you have wealth in all things, in word and in knowledge of every sort;

⁶Even as the witness of the Christ has been made certain among you:

⁷So that having every grace you are living in the hope of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁸Who will give you strength to the end, to be free from all sin in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁰Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

¹¹Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.

¹²That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's.
