1 Corinthians 1:3-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.^(A)

⁴ I give thanks to my^[a] God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind— ⁶ just as the testimony of^[b] Christ has been strengthened among you^(B)— ⁷ so that you are not lacking in any gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ.^{(C) 8} He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom you were called into the partnership of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.^(D)

Divisions in the Church

¹⁰ Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you but that you be knit together in the same mind and the same purpose.^{(E) 11} For it has been made clear to me by Chloe’s people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters.
