Strong's Lexicon Korinthios: Corinthian Original Word: Κορίνθιος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: Korinthios Pronunciation: ko-RIN-thee-os Phonetic Spelling: (kor-in'-thee-os) Definition: Corinthian, of Corinth. Meaning: A Corinthian; pertaining to Corinth, a major city in ancient Greece known for its wealth, commerce, and moral decadence. Word Origin: Derived from Κόρινθος (Korinthos), referring to the city of Corinth. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Κορίνθιος, as it is a term specific to the Greek context of the New Testament. However, the concept of a city and its inhabitants can be related to various Hebrew terms for cities and peoples, such as עִיר (ir, city) and עַם (am, people). Usage: The term is used to describe individuals or things associated with the city of Corinth. It appears in the context of the New Testament to denote the inhabitants of Corinth or matters related to the city. Context: • Historical Context: Corinth was a prominent city in ancient Greece, strategically located on the isthmus connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece. It was a bustling hub of trade and culture, known for its affluence and diverse population. The city was also infamous for its moral laxity and the worship of Aphrodite, which included temple prostitution. • Biblical Significance: In the New Testament, Corinth is significant as the location where the Apostle Paul established a Christian church during his missionary journeys. The letters to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians) address various issues within the Corinthian church, reflecting the challenges of living a Christian life in a morally complex society. • Cultural Influence: The term "Corinthian" in the ancient world often carried connotations of indulgence and immorality, reflecting the city's reputation. However, the Christian community in Corinth was called to live counter-culturally, embodying the values of the Gospel amidst a secular environment. • Scriptural References: While the specific term Κορίνθιος does not appear frequently, the city and its inhabitants are central to the narrative of Paul's ministry. For example, in Acts 18:1, Paul arrives in Corinth, and in 1 Corinthians 1:2, he addresses the "church of God in Corinth."
