Epistle to Corinth
The Epistle to Corinth was a letter written by the 'brethren' of the early Christian Church in Ephesus to the church in Corinth in Achaia, referred to in the Acts of the Apostles, commending the Corinthian church to welcome the preacher Apollos:
The letter is now lost.
English biblical translators differ in their interpretation of the 'encouraging' role of the letter, as it can be interpreted as encouraging Apollos, or as encouraging the Corinthian church. The Pulpit Commentary suggests it is "rather more consonant to the structure of the sentence and to the probability of the case that the exhortation was addressed to the Corinthian Church, and not to Apollos, who needed no such encouragement".
