The Apostle Paul wrote most of the New Testament as letters to different churches. For instance: Galatians was written to a church in Galatia; Phillippians to a church in Phillippi; Corinthians to a church in Corinth, etc.
Corinth was important because it has a significant community of early non-Jewish Christians and it was divided socially between wealthy Christians and poor Christians. In addressing this division, Paul wrote several letters, his letters to the Corinthians, that attempted to address this division. In dealing with this problem Paul did a remarkable job of outlining and emphasizing some of the major points of Jesus' teachings as they applied to non-Jews, and in doing so, Paul laid the groundwork for the expansion of Christianity in the non-Jewish world. These letters are so well written that the early church fathers decided to include them in the canon of Christian literature that we call the New Testament.
