We have come before God the judge of all:
before the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
and Jesus the mediator of a new covenant.
New Testament Reading - Greetings
1From: Paul, chosen by God to be Jesus Christ’s missionary, and from brother Sosthenes.
2To: The Christians in Corinth, invited by God to be his people and made acceptable to him by Christ Jesus.a And to: All Christians everywhere — whoever calls upon the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and theirs.
3May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you all of his blessings, and great peace of heart and mind.
4I can never stop thanking God for all the wonderful gifts he has given you, now that you are Christ’s: 5he has enriched your whole life. He has helped you speak out for him and has given you a full understanding of the truth; 6what I told you Christ could do for you has happened! 7Now you have every grace and blessing; every spiritual gift and power for doing his will are yours during this time of waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8And he guarantees right up to the end that you will be counted free from all sin and guilt on that day when he returns. 9God will surely do this for you, for he always does just what he says, and he is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, even Christ our Lord.
. . . . . 1 Corinthians 1:1-9- Or “chosen by Christ Jesus”; literally, “sanctified in Christ Jesus.”
