Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

to the church of God sanctified in Christ Jesus that is in Corinth, called [to be] saints, together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their [Lord] and ours.

God [is] faithful, by whom you were called to fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

but to those [who are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ [is] the power of God and the wisdom of God.

But now I have written to you not to associate with any so-called brother, if he is a sexually immoral person or a greedy person or an idolater or an abusive person or a drunkard or a swindler--with such a person not even to eat.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. The brother or the sister is not bound in such [cases]. But God has called us in peace.

But to each one as the Lord has apportioned. As God has called each one, thus let him live--and thus I order in all the churches.

Was anyone called [after] being circumcised? He must not undo his circumcision. Was anyone called in uncircumcision? He must not become circumcised.

Each one in the calling in which he was called--in this he should remain.

Were you called [while] a slave? Do not let it be a concern to you. But if indeed you are able to become free, rather make use of [it].

For the one who is called in the Lord [while] a slave is the Lord's freedperson. Likewise the one who is called [while] free is a slave of Christ.

Each one in [the situation] in which he was called, brothers--in this he should remain with God.

For even if after all [there] are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as [there] are many gods and many lords,

For I am the least of the apostles, not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
