Context
Salutation
1:1 From Paul , called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God , and Sosthenes , our brother ,
1:2 to the church of God that is in Corinth , to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus , and called to be saints , with all those in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , their Lord and ours .
1:3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ !
Thanksgiving
1:4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus .
1:5 For you were made rich in every way in him , in all your speech and in every kind of knowledge –
1:6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you –
1:7 so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ .
1:8 He will also strengthen you to the end , so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ .
1:9 God is faithful , by whom you were called into fellowship with his son , Jesus Christ our Lord .
Divisions in the Church
1:10 I urge you , brothers and sisters , by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , to agree together, to end your divisions , and to be united by the same mind and purpose .
1:11 For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me , my brothers and sisters , that there are quarrels among you .
1:12 Now I mean this , that each of you is saying , “I am with Paul ,” or “I am with Apollos ,” or “I am with Cephas ,” or “I am with Christ .”
1:13 Is Christ divided ? Paul wasn’t crucified for you , was he? Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul ?
