Where was the church in Corinth located?
The church in Corinth was situated in Corinth, on the tip of Greece by the Mediterranean Sea, a little off to the southwest of Athens. Paul writes his second letter to that congregation, which was a carnal church troubled by divisions.
Les explains that Paul is writing his second letter to the congregation down at Corinth, located on the tip of Greece on the Mediterranean Sea, a little off to the southwest of Athens. In the first letter, that church was carnal and had not begun to grow into the deeper things of Paul's teachings. One of its main problems was divisions, with four distinct groups claiming allegiance to Christ, Peter, Apollos, or Paul.
