[1:1] From Paul, who was called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Sosthenes—
[1:2] To the church of God which is in Corinth, to all who are called to be God's holy people, who belong to him in union with Christ Jesus, together with all people everywhere who worship our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
[1:3] May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
