Paul ... to the church of God at Corinth

those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus
Here "sanctified" refers to people whom God has reserved to honor him. Alternate translation: "to those whom Christ Jesus has set apart for God" or "to those whom God has set apart for himself because they belong to Christ Jesus"
who are called to be holy people
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "whom God has called to be holy people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
"Name" here is a metonym for person of Jesus Christ. Alternate translation: "who call on the Lord Jesus Christ" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
their Lord and ours
The word "ours" includes Paul's audience. Jesus is the Lord of Paul and the Corinthians and all the churches. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-inclusive)
