Korinthos is the place named as the setting for assemblies, residence, and travel in Scripture.

Korinthos consistently names a place: it locates assemblies in 1 Corinthians 1:2 and 2 Corinthians 1:1, identifies people as being or staying there in Acts 19:1 and 2 Timothy 4:20, and marks a destination in Acts 18:1 and 2 Corinthians 1:23.

Senses in use

  1. Place named in setting and movement clauses · dominant

    The dative form occurs where an assembly is described as being there in 1 Corinthians 1:2 and 2 Corinthians 1:1, where Apollos is there in Acts 19:1, and where Erastus stayed there in 2 Timothy 4:20. The accusative form occurs in travel clauses: in Acts 18:1 the APB renders “he left Athens and came to Corinth,” while in 2 Corinthians 1:23 it renders “I came no more to Corinth.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the term uniformly as “Corinth,” whether describing an assembly located there, someone staying or being there, or movement to that place. These renderings confirm the verse-level setting rather than independently defining the term.
