1 Corinthians 1:2

Identity and self-worth Purity Fellowship and the church

¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

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 my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
