After Athens, Paul went to Corinth. That is where he discovered Aquila, a Jew born in Pontus, and his wife, Priscilla. They had just arrived from Italy, part of the general expulsion of Jews from Rome ordered by Claudius. Paul moved in with them, and they worked together at their common trade of tentmaking. But every Sabbath he was at the meeting place, doing his best to convince both Jews and Greeks about Jesus.

Acts 18:1 - Additional Comments

It seems that the stronger the Jewish influences, the more persecution Paul received. He did not receive much persecution in Athens, but he did receive a cold reception there, will little prospect of doing good, so he left there and came to Corinth. In Athens he left the care of those there who believed with Dionysius (17:34).
This is during Paul's second missionary journey, and his first time in Corinth. Paul became instrumental in planting the church there which became considerable. Corinth was the chief city of Achaia, now a province of the empire, a rich and splendid city. It was a strategic city located on important land & sea trade routes. It was a center for pagan worship & immorality. It was the Hollywood and the Las Vegas of the Roman Empire -- it was probably the most wicked city of that day. There, the Temple contained thousands of prostitutes dedicated to the worship of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Sex was its religion.
