1 Paul appointed by the divine will to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who being sanctified by Christ Jesus, are saints by that vocation, to all that any where invoke the name of Jesus Christ, who is both their Lord and ours. 3 grace and peace be with you from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I continually give thanks to God on your behalf, for the favour he has bestowed on you thro' Jesus Christ; 5 in your being enriched by him in every gift, with all that light and knowledge, 6 whereby the testimony we gave concerning Christ was confirmed among you. 7 so that you will be deficient in no gift; during your expectation of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 and God will confirm you to the end, that ye may be unaccused in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 for he, who has called you to the communication of his son Jesus Christ our Lord, will make good his promise. 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to maintain all the same doctrine, to suffer no divisions among you; but to be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment. 11 for I have been inform'd, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you. 12 I mean that one or other of you cries out "I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, 13 and I of Christ." is the school of Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized into the name of Paul? 1 Corinthians 1:1-13, Mace New Testament.
