The First Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians   1: 3-9

1:3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:4 I give thanks to my God continuously for you because of the grace of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus.
1:5 By that grace, in all things, you have become wealthy in him, in every word and in all knowledge.
1:6 And so, the testimony of Christ has been strengthened in you.
1:7 In this way, nothing is lacking to you in any grace, as you await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:8 And he, too, will strengthen you, even until the end, without guilt, until the day of the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:9 God is faithful. Through him, you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
