Notes
In Roman times, political power in Achaia was centered in Corinth, an important city-state and a major center for trade. Corinth became known for widespread prostitution, sexual immorality (wrong sexual behavior), and drunkenness (see 1 Corinthians Book Introduction, “Setting”).
Paul spent a great deal of time and effort building a Christian community there (see study note on Acts 16:8).
