Greeting

1 Paul, acalled to be an apostle of Jesus Christ bthrough the will of God, and cSosthenes our brother,

2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who dare 1sanctified in Christ Jesus, ecalled to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ four Lord, gboth theirs and ours:

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

Spiritual Gifts at Corinth

4 iI thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, 5 that you were enriched in everything by Him jin all 2utterance and all knowledge, 6 even as kthe testimony of Christ was confirmed 3in you, 7 so that you come short in no gift, eagerly lwaiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 mwho will also confirm you to the end, nthat you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 oGod is faithful, by whom you were called into pthe fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sectarianism is Sin

10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, qthat you all 4speak the same thing, and that there be no 5divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are 6contentions among you. 12 Now I say this, that reach of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of sApollos,” or “I am of tCephas,” or “I am of Christ.” 13 uIs Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
