Corinth was the most essential city of all Greece in Paul's day. It's riches was spectacular. Men spent their days in competitions and addresses. Extravagance, dissemination, and open unethical behavior were wild among this extraordinary modern and marine populace. Corinth pulled in incredible hordes of outsiders from the East and West. Their divine beings were lords of joy and desire. There was, additionally, much culture and craftsmanship. The city possessed large amounts of studios of dialect and schools of rationality.

As in many urban communities, there was a substantial state of Jews who had dept a solid good standard and held to their religious convictions. In any case, the city itself was the focal point of a degraded type of the love of Venus.

If we read Acts 18 we discover how the gospel achieved this insidious city. The witness Paul, then a man of fifty years old, in the attire of a working man, entered the bustling city and experienced its boulevards looking for a workshop where he may procure his own particular living. There were no boards publicizing the happening to a widely acclaimed evangelist. This tradesman came into town and started his tent-production. This was a main industry in that day like building is today. He started a new business with the well-to-do tent creators Aquila and Priscilla. He was constantly ready to bolster himself, making enough to bear on his minister work. A great work was done in Corinth amid the 18 months that Paul was there. He started by talking in the synagogues to blended gatherings of Jews and Greeks.
