It was written around 55 A.D. during Paul's third missionary journey. It was written from Ephesus according to Acts 18:10. And Paul wrote both 1 and 2 Corinthians to these people about three to five years after evangelizing them.
So, when he stopped off at Corinth during his first visit, many people were saved, and of course the riots started so he left. On his third missionary journey, he came straight to Ephesus. And he was there for quite some time and that's where he met up with Sosthenes because Sosthenes left after the riot. And Paul met him there. And so, the two of them were there.
And also, we're going to hear from the household of Chloe. The household of Chloe is going to make a trip. They know that Paul is in Ephesus. It's about three to five years after Paul made his visit on his third missionary journey. And so, a delegation leaves Corinth to go talk to Paul about the problems in the church. And that's what we are studying. We are studying about the problems in the church.
