First Epistle to the Corinthians

The First Epistle to the Corinthians^[a] (Ancient Greek: Α΄ ᾽Επιστολὴ πρὸς Κορινθίους) is one of the Pauline epistles, part of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The epistle is attributed to Paul the Apostle and a co-author, Sosthenes, and is addressed to the Christian church in Corinth.^[3] Scholars believe that Sosthenes was the amanuensis who wrote down the text of the letter at Paul's direction.^[4] It addresses various issues which had arisen in the Christian community at Corinth and is composed in a form of Koine Greek.^[5] Despite the name, it is not believed to be the first such letter written to the Corinthian church.
