1 Corinthians 1:4
2 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.
I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.
5 For in Him you have been enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,
6 because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
