OET (OET-RV) I always thank my God for you because of his grace that he’s given you in Messiah Yeshua—
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάντοτε
always
Here, always is an exaggeration that the Corinthians would have understood to emphasize how often Paul prays for the Corinthians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express always with a word that indicates frequency. Alternate translation: [consistently] or [frequently]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish
τῷ Θεῷ μου
˱to˲_the God ˱of˲_me
When Paul speaks of my God, he does not mean that this is a different God than the one the Corinthians believe in. Rather, he simply wishes to state that this God is his God. If my God in your translation sounds like it makes a distinction between Paul’s God and the Corinthians’ God, you could use a plural pronoun. Alternate translation: [to our God]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τῇ δοθείσῃ
the ¬which /having_been/_given
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on the grace that was given rather than the person doing the “giving.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “God” does it. Alternate translation: [that he gave]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
in Christ Jesus
Paul uses the spatial metaphor in Christ Jesus to describe the union of believers with Christ. In this case, being in Christ Jesus, or united to Christ, could explain: (1) the means by which God has given grace to the Corinthians. Alternate translation: [by means of your union with Christ Jesus] (2) the reason why God has given grace to the Corinthians. Alternate translation: [because of your union with Christ Jesus]
1:4 now that you belong to Christ Jesus (literally in Christ Jesus): Paul frequently uses the phrase in Christ Jesus to refer to the saving relationship believers have with Christ (e.g., Rom 3:24; Gal 2:4; Eph 3:6).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
