Letters to the Churches

And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Timothy, my fellow labourer, saluteth you: and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

Caius, my host, and the whole church saluteth you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, saluteth you: and Quartus, a 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 was kept secret from eternity;

(Which now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith) known among all nations:

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

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

To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs and ours.

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

I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus:

That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance and in all knowledge;

As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the days of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no schisms among you: but that you be perfect in the same mind and in the same judgment.

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

Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius:

Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.

And I baptized also the household of Stephanus. 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 speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
