About this letter
Paul’s first visit to Corinth
Comment:
On his second journey to take people the good news about Jesus, Paul arrived in Corinth from Athens. He had only very little success in Athens and he did not stay there for very long. But he stayed in Corinth for 18 months.
He spent longer there than in any other city apart from Ephesus. He stayed with Aquila and Priscilla, who were tent makers like himself.
He preached first in the synagogue. When the Jews opposed him, he used the home of Titius Justus. Titius Justus lived next door to the synagogue. Paul preached very successfully. Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, became a Christian.
When a new Roman ruler arrived, the Jews took Paul to him. They said that Paul was teaching ‘against the law’. But the ruler refused to listen to the Jews.
This happened in about AD 51. Paul later went to Syria.
See…Acts 18:1-17
