In conjunction with Deaconess Priscilla and Aquila (1Co16:19) and his own apostolic team (Ac18:5),Paul founded the Corinthian church during his eighteen month ministry at Corinth,during his second missionary journey (Ac18:1-17).The church was made up of some Jews but mostly of ex-pagan Gentiles.After Paul left the church at Corinth, a variety of problems arose in the young church, requiring his apostolic authority and teaching.
The first letter to the Corinthians was written during his 3 yrs ministry at Ephesus(Ac20:31).On his third missionary journey(Ac18:23;21:16) report reached Paul at Ephesus about the problems at Corinth (1Co1:11);afterward a delegation from the Corinthian Congregation(1 Co16:17) delivered a letter to Paul, requesting his instruction on a variety of issues (1Co7:1;8:1;12:1;16:1).In response to the report and the letter from Corinth, Paul wrote this letter.
