But I have written to you very openly about some things I wanted you to remember. I did this because God gave me this special gift:

to be a minister of Christ Jesus to those who are not Jews. I served God by teaching his Good News, so that the non-Jewish people could be an offering that God would accept—an offering made holy by the Holy Spirit.

So I am proud of what I have done for God in Christ Jesus.

I will not talk about anything except what Christ has done through me in leading those who are not Jews to obey God. They have obeyed God because of what I have said and done,

Brothers and sisters, I beg you to help me in my work by praying to God for me. Do this because of our Lord Jesus and the love that the Holy Spirit gives us.

Then, if God wants me to, I will come to you with joy, and together you and I will have a time of rest.

The God who gives peace be with you all. Amen.

The God who brings peace will soon defeat Satan and give you power over him. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

Glory to God who can make you strong in faith by the Good News that I tell people and by the message about Jesus Christ. The message about Christ is the secret that was hidden for long ages past but is now made known.

It has been made clear through the writings of the prophets. And by the command of the eternal God it is made known to all nations that they might believe and obey.

To the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

From Paul. God called me to be an apostle of Christ Jesus because that is what God wanted. Also from Sosthenes, our brother in Christ.

To the church of God in Corinth, to you who have been made holy in Christ Jesus. You were called to be God's holy people with all people everywhere who pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours:

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

I always thank my God for you because of the grace God has given you in Christ Jesus.

I thank God because in Christ you have been made rich in every way, in all your speaking and in all your knowledge.

so you have every gift from God while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come again.

God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

I thank God I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius

The teaching about the cross is foolishness to those who are being lost, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
