John Calvin on 1 Corinthians 1:3

3. Grace be to you and peace For an exposition of this prayer, let my readers consult the beginning of my Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans (Romans 1:7;) for I do not willingly burden my readers with repetitions.

1 Corinthians 1:4-9

4. I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

4. Gratias ago Deo meo semper de vobis propter gratiam Dei, quae data vobis est in Christo Jesu.

5. That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

5. Quia in onmibus ditati estis in ipso, in omni sermone, “Parole,” ou “eloquence;” — “Utterance,” or “eloquence.” et in omni cognitione.

6. Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

6. Quemadmodum testimonium Christi confirmatum fuit in vobis.

7. So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

7. Ut nullo in dono destituamini, exspectantes revelationem Domini nostri Jesu Christi.

8. Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8. Qui etiam confirmabit vos usque in finem inculpatos, in diem Domini nostri Jesu Christi.

9. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

9. Fidelis Deus, per quem vocati estis in communionem Filii ipsius Jesu Christi Domini nostri.
