“Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:”
To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people — 'church' (ekklēsia) means assembly; these are not simply a philosophical club but a called-out people. Sanctification (hagiazō) is both positional (in Christ) and vocational (called to be holy). The Corinthians' divisions will be exposed as contradicting their very identity as God's holy ones.
