| | Bible Study - Paul In Corinth |
| | Paul's first stay at Corinth lasted for eighteen months (Acts 18:1-18), where he first met, lived and worked with Aquila and Priscilla, who had been among the Jews ordered out of Rome by Claudius (Acts 18:2). | | | It was a large cosmopolitan city, with a estimated mixed population of 400,000 people - Romans, Greeks, and Jews. | | | Corinth owed much of its early success as a port to the fact that it was actually two ports - one to the Ionian and Adriatic Seas on the west side, and the other to the Aegean Sea on the east side, then separated only by the narrow isthmus. |
