1 Corinthians 1:4-9 - Thanksgiving For The Corinthian Believers

⁴ I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus-- ⁵ that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge. ⁶ Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience, ⁷ so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who will also keep you stedfast to the very End, so that you will be free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.
