We turn to a new book today. We open our Bible’s to 1st Corinthians, a timeless letter written by Paul The apostle to the church at Corinth, a letter that reveals the problems, the pressures, and the struggles of a church called out of a pagan society. This letter should hopefully convict us and direct us on how to live right and how to act right within the church of God. A challenging letter that we must all be encouraged to follow! Let’s Join Pastor David Crespo and get into God’s word!
1 Corinthians 1 New King James Version (NKJV)
Greeting
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are [a]sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Spiritual Gifts at Corinth
4 I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, 5 that you were enriched in everything by Him in all [b]utterance and all knowledge, 6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed [c]in you, 7 so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
