Letters to the Churches

And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Timothy my fellow-worker saluteth you; and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

I Tertius, who write the epistle, salute you in the Lord.

Gaius my host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the treasurer of the city saluteth you, and Quartus the brother.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Now to him that is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which hath been kept in silence through times eternal,

but now is manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known unto all the nations unto obedience of faith:

to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever. Amen.

Paul, calledto bean apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

unto the church of God which is at Corinth, eventhem that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, calledto besaints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirLordand ours:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge;

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye be unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them that are of the household of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?

I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;

lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name.

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
