SOSTHENES

SOSTHENES

“of all strength.”
Principal of the Corinth synagogue during Paul’s stay in that city. A riot having broken out because of the preaching of the apostle Paul, the mob beat Sosthenes before the court of Gallio.

The heading of 1 Cor. 1:1 associates Paul with someone named Sosthenes, who could be the same person, converted to Christian.
