Greetings from Paul
1 Corinthians 1:1-3 (NLT)
1 This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Sosthenes.
2 I am writing to God’s church in Corinth, to you who have been called by God to be his own holy people. He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus, just as he did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.
3 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
- The church in Corinth was called to live holy lives in the midst of a sin-infested city.
- We are called to live holy lives in the midst of a sin-infested environment.
- We are called to experience God’s grace and peace while living in the midst of a sin-infested environment.
