1 Corinthians 1:2
Unto the church of God. This designation of the church appears
oftener than any other in the New Testament.
To them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus. All of "the church of
God at Corinth" were "sanctified in Christ Jesus"; that is, they were
set apart from the world and consecrated to God. All Christians are
"sanctified" in the sense of the term in the New Testament, and "called
to be saints". The humblest Christian is a saint, as well as Peter or
Paul.
With all that in every place. The letter is intended for all
Christians, as well as for those at Corinth.
Call upon the name of Jesus Christ. Recognize him as their divine
Savior.
Both theirs and ours. The Lord of the saints everywhere as well
as ours (1 Corinthians 8:6 Eph 4:5). Since there is only one Lord and Master,
all Christians should be brethren.
