3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace God has given you in Christ Jesus.
5 I thank God because in Christ you have been made rich in every way, in all your speaking and in all your knowledge.
6 Just as our witness about Christ has been guaranteed to you,
7 so you have every gift from God while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come again.
8 Jesus will keep you strong until the end so that there will be no wrong in you on the day our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.
9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
