1 Corinthians 1:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² We are sending this letter to you, the members of God’s church in Corinth. You have been made holy because you belong to Christ Jesus. God has chosen you to be his holy people. He has done the same for all people everywhere who pray to our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is their Lord and ours.

³ May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Paul Gives Thanks

⁴ I always thank my God for you. I thank him because of the grace he has given to you who belong to Christ Jesus.
