Strong's Lexicon Korinthos: Corinth Original Word: Κόρινθος Word Origin: Of uncertain origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Corinth, as it is a Greek city and concept. However, the Hebrew Bible does reference cities of trade and commerce, such as Tyre (Strong's Hebrew 6865, צוֹר). Usage: Corinth is a significant city in ancient Greece, known for its wealth, commerce, and strategic location. In the New Testament, it is primarily recognized as the city where the Apostle Paul established a Christian church and to which he addressed two of his epistles, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. Cultural and Historical Background: Corinth was a major city in the Roman province of Achaia, located on the narrow stretch of land connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece. It was a bustling hub of trade and culture, known for its diverse population and the infamous Temple of Aphrodite, which contributed to its reputation for immorality. The city's strategic location made it a melting pot of ideas and religions, providing fertile ground for the spread of the Gospel. The Apostle Paul spent approximately 18 months in Corinth during his second missionary journey, as recorded in Acts 18:1-18, establishing a church that would become a focal point for early Christianity.
