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:
for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Yeshua from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
