Sha'ul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Korint, with all the holy ones who are in the whole of Achaia:
not boasting beyond proper limits in other men's labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
