1 Corinthians 1:3-9
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. (ESV)

Paul wrote the Corinthians to tell them how much he thanked God for them. He also wanted to tell them that as they continue in their good walk, they would increase in knowledge. He encouraged them by explaining that Christ would be coming soon and that they should be blameless in his sight.
Do not worry about a thing; Christ is going to take care of us, just as he did for them—equipping us with the knowledge necessary to do his work. Be encouraged today.
