 He reminds that they themselves were saints, and this too by calling. It was grace which chose them as saints, grace that chose him, not as a saint only, but as an apostle. (Notes on 1 Corinthians 1:1-3 by W. Kelly)
 The fact that they were sanctified, and that the form of the word does not mean merely a process going on but their character as stamped with separation to God in Christ Jesus, and thus saints by calling, not merely called to be saints, was a most impressive appeal to their hearts and consciences. (Notes on 1 Corinthians 1:1-3 by W. Kelly)
 Those who participate in this sanctification are saints, “called saints" (not a mere holy nation by birth like Israel). (Notes on 1 Corinthians 1:1-3 by W. Kelly)
 There is no hint of limiting the address to "the Christians in all Achaia, as we see in 2 Cor. 1:1. And the difference is the more striking as God foresaw that men would ere long seek to tamper with the application of this epistle beyond all others, and seek to limit it to the apostolic age. (Notes on 1 Corinthians 1:1-3 by W. Kelly)

WK Translation Notes

a
This order of inserting "that is in Corinth" I believe correct. Some copies insert the clause between "Jesus" and "called."
b
See note to verse 1.
c
The authorities are pretty evenly divided as to weight if not numbers for and against including "both"; I rather incline to its absence.
d
I reject the notion of such as connect "theirs and ours" with "every place." The KJV gives the true sense. It asserts the Lord’s relationship to all that call on Him wherever they may be.
