Grace, he says, and peace be with you not only the Corinthians, but also with all who call on the name of Christ, and not so-and-so.

In every place, with them and with us.

He mentions believers in every place to show that all believers constitute one Church, wherever they may be. How did you, living in the same city, get divided? On the other hand, he added ours. For having said, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and having placed in the middle, in every place, he repeated, and said, The Lord is with them and with us, in order to show that the Lord is one for all. Some, however, understand these words as they stand: in every place, with them and with us, that is, in which we and they live.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace and peace from God. Even before, when we were at enmity against Him, we received peace by His grace, and I pray that both things may always be given to you from God, that is, that you may not be deprived of His grace or peace; because you live in disagreement with each other. How then do you apply yourselves to men, and seek from them as teachers grace and favor?

Thank you incessantly.

Teaches us to be grateful. He does so in almost every epistle; But now he speaks especially appropriately about gratitude. For gratitude is for a good deed, and a good deed is neither a duty nor a recompense. Consequently, he also destroys the pride of the Corinthians.

My God.

Out of great love, he assimilates God, common to all.

For you, for the grace of God.

By this he also teaches the Corinthians to always have grateful feelings for God, and not for their own works, for he says: I thank for the grace of God, and not for the sake of your works.

Given unto you in Christ Jesus.

That is, through Christ Jesus, and not through so-and-so. Why then do you pay attention to people?

For in Him (εν αύτω) you have been enriched in all things.
