1 Corinthians 1

v.4

I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.

v.5-6

v.9

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

v.18

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

v.19

v.30
