16. READ: 1 CORINTHIANS 1:1-9
[1 Corinthians 1:1] "Paul, called to be an apostle of
Christ Jesus by the Will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
[2] "To the church of God in Corinth, to those
sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all
those everywhere who call on the Name of our Lord Jesus
Christ--their Lord and ours:
[3] "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ.
[4] "I always thank God for you because of His grace given
you in Christ Jesus. [5] For in Him you have been enriched in every
way--in all your speaking and in all your knowledge--[6]
because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. [7]
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait
for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. [8] He will keep you
strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our
Lord Jesus Christ. [9] God, Who has called you into fellowship with
His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."
