The cosmopolitan commercial city where Paul spent 18 months and later wrote two letters addressing serious church problems.
Paul spent 18 months in Corinth (Acts 18:1-18), working as a tentmaker with Aquila and Priscilla. He founded a church despite opposition and later wrote 1 and 2 Corinthians addressing divisions, immorality, spiritual gifts, and resurrection. The Corinthian letters provide crucial teaching on church life and love (1 Cor 13).
Corinth was a major commercial hub with two ports (one on the Aegean, one on the Adriatic), making it one of the wealthiest cities in Greece. The city was infamous for sexual immorality, with the Temple of Aphrodite employing sacred prostitutes. "To Corinthianize" meant to practice sexual immorality.
