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 Corinthians 1:7-9

1:7 so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation ¹  of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:8 He ²  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.

1 Corinthians 15:31

15:31 Every day I am in danger of death! This is as sure as ³  my boasting in you, ⁴  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:57

15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

¹ sn The revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ refers to the Lord’s return, when he will be revealed (cf. the reference to the day of our Lord Jesus Christ in v. 8).

¹ tn Grk “who,” referring to Christ. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

¹ tn Or, more literally, “I swear by the boasting in you.”

² tc ‡ Although the witnesses for the shorter reading (Ì⁴⁶ D F G Ψ 075 0243 1739 1881 Ï) are not as strong as for the addition of ἀδελφοί (adelfoi, “brothers”) at this juncture (א A B K P 33 81 104 365 1175 2464 lat sy co), it is difficult to find a reason why scribes would either intentionally or unintentionally drop the address here. Thus, the shorter reading is slightly preferred.
