Corinthians, The First Epistle to The
VIEW:16 DATA:01-04-2020
Corinth'ians, The First Epistle to The. The First Epistle to the Corinthians was written, by the apostle St. Paul, toward the close of his nearly three-years stay at Ephesus, Act_19:10; Act_20:31, which, we learn from 1Co_16:8, probably terminated with the Pentecost of A.D. 57 or 58. The bearers were probably (according to the common subscription) Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus. It appears to have been called forth by the information the apostles had received of dissension in the Corinthian church, which may be thus explained:
The Corinthian church was planted by the apostle himself, 1Co_3:6, in his second missionary journey. Act_18:1. Seq. He abode in the city a year and a half. Act_18:11.
A short time after the apostle had left the city, the eloquent Jew of Alexandria, Apollos, went to Corinth, Act_19:1, and gained many followers, dividing the church into two parties, the followers of Paul and the followers of Apollos.
Later on, Judaizing teachers from Jerusalem preached the gospel in a spirit of direct antagonism to St. Paul personally. To this third party, we may perhaps add a fourth, that, under the name of "the followers of Christ," 1Co_2:12, sought, at first, to separate themselves from the factious adherence to particular teachers, but eventually were driven. By antagonism. Into positions equally sectarian and inimical to the unity of the church.
At this momentous period, before parties had become consolidated and they had distinctly withdrawn from communion with one another, the apostle writes; and in the outset of the Epistle, 1 Corinthians 1:1-4:21, we have this noble and impassioned protest against this fourfold rending of the robe of Christ.
