There is a consensus among historians and theologians that Paul is the author of the First Epistle to the Corinthians, [6] with Sosthenes as its co-author.

1 Corinthians 13:3 καυχήσωμαι ( I may boast ) – Alexandrian text-type. By 2009, many translators and scholars had come to favour this variant as the original reading on the grounds that is probably the oldest.
