CHLOE (mentioned only in 1Co_1:11).—St. Paul had been informed of the dissensions at Corinth prob. by some of her Christian slaves. Chloe herself may have been either a Christian or a beathen, and may have lived either at Corinth or at Ephesus. In favour of the latter is St. Paul’s usual tact, which would not suggest the invidious mention of his informants’ names, if they were members of the Corinthian Church.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


1Co_1:11. A matron at Corinth, some of whose household informed Paul of the divisions in the Corinthian church. The Corinthians had "written" to Paul consulting him about marriage, things offered to idols, decorum in church assemblies, but not a syllable about the disorders that had crept in. That information reached him from other quarters: compare 1Co_5:1-2. "It hath been declared unto me," "it is reported." All this he says before he notices their letter, which shows it gave him no intimation of these evils. An undesigned proof of genuineness (Paley). He names the family, to show he has authority for his allegation, but not individuals, to avoid exciting odium against them. He tacitly implies that the information ought to have come from their presbyters, who consulted him about matters of less importance.

Chloe
(Χλόη, verdure, a classical name), a female Christian mentioned in 1Co_1:11, some of whose household (ὑπὸ τῶν Χλόης, where there is doubtless an ellipsis of οἰκείων, comp.
