Corinth was a major metropolis in Paul's time. It not only in a strategic location, but it was a major center of Greek teaching. The wealth and "progressive" learning atmosphere led to a very immoral lifestyle that was very prevalent.
Paul initially spent 18 months in the area and helped establish a Christian congregation there. He became very close with his fellow Christians and grew to love them very much.
So later, when he was preaching in other areas, Paul was concerned about his friends and their spiritual welfare. After receiving a letter from them, he wrote 1 Corinthians to them, first addressing their inquiry. Interestingly, it isn't even until the 7th chapter that he mentions even receiving the letter.
In all his writings, Paul had the goal of encouraging others to remain spiritually clean while knowing that they would encounter situations that may lead them to stop following Christian principles. Some of these situations were specifically addressed in his letters.

How many letters did Paul write to Corinth?
In the New Testament, there are two letters or epistles from Paul to the Corinthians, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. However, reference within those works suggest the existence of probably two additional letters, written during the same period. Liberal Scholars have looked at these references and many believe that the additional letters are actually part of what we now perceive as the two epistles. In other words, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians are probably composites of four or five original epistles. Conservative Scholars have looked closely at these letters and conclude there were only two surviving letters to be assimilated into our current Bible. They are respectively 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. However there is internal evidence within the scriptures of 1 and 2 Corinthians that suggests that two letters were lost. In 1 Cor. 5:9 Paul refers to a "former letter", and in 2 Cor. 2:4 Paul refers to a "sorrowful letter." There actually were four letters and two were lost.

Was Clement the writer of Paul's epistles?
On the evidence of Eusebius, Clement was bishop of Rome between 92 and 101 CE. Clement is said to have written two letters to the Corinthians, but these are not the same letters as Paul wrote to the Corinthians. In any case, Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians must have been written before Mark's Gospel, which is reliably dated to around 70 CE. The Clementine epistle, 1 Clement does refer to Paul's letter to the Corinthians. No, he did not write Paul's epistles - Paul wrote them. Some are of the opinion that Clement may have written Hebrews.
How many letters did Paul write to Corinth at a minimum and what were the letters?
There are two letters or epistles from Paul to the Corinthians in the New Testament, and scholars are satisfied that both are genuine letters written by Paul, even if redacted by later editors. In addition 2 Corinthians 2:4 talks of a 'sorrowful letter' that Paul had previously written, but which could not have been 1 Corinthians. Some scholars also see in 2 Corinthians references to yet another letter. Thus, there were certainly three and probably at least four letters from Paul to the Corinthian church. A quite reasonable suggestion is that someone subsequently added the 'sorrowful letter' as the last four chapters of 2 Corinthians, although it would have been chronologically earlier. Some scholars think 2 Corinthians is actually composed of fragments of several epistles, which have been assembled to provide a fairly consistent single 'letter'.

How many letters did the Corinthians write to Paul?
It is apparent from 1 Cor. 16:8 that Paul is writing from Ephesus ("I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost"). He is responding to a number of specific issues in his letter (most certainly not his first letter). How did he know this detailed information? The answer: by both oral and written accounts. Regarding the latter, for instance, 1 Cor. 7:1 has "Now concerning the matters about which you wrote..." We then learn that Paul received written information specifically about marriage problems. When asking the question: did the Corinthians write to Paul? We can answer with some confidence that the letter writing was reciprocal. Unfortunately, only two letters survive and they are from Paul.
Which two pastors did Paul write letters to?
Timothy (two) and Titus.
Where did Paul write Corinthians?
AnswerThe Second Epistle to Timothy is traditionally believed to have been written by Paul from Rome. However, it is reported that scholars are almost unanimous in believing that this is one of the 'pseudo-Pauline' epistles written in Paul's name long after his death.If the epistle was only written to appear to have been written by Paul himself, we can not be certain where the real author wrote 2 Timothy from.
