Contextual Overview

1 From Paul, chosen by God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from Sosthenes, who is also a follower. 2 To God's church in Corinth. Christ Jesus chose you to be his very own people, and you worship in his name, as we and all others do who call him Lord. 3 My prayer is that God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace! 4 I never stop thanking my God for being kind enough to give you Christ Jesus, 5 who helps you speak and understand so well. 6 Now you are certain that everything we told you about our Lord Christ Jesus is true. 7 You are not missing out on any blessings, as you wait for him to return. 8 And until the day Christ does return, he will keep you completely innocent. 9 God can be trusted, and he chose you to be partners with his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
