This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 18:1. Χωρισθεὶς, having departed) as if unwilling, speedily [lit. having been separated or constrained to depart from]. The same verb occurs in the following ver. Paul did not stay long at Athens. Men endowed with intelligence readily hear as much as is sufficient [for informing them of the way of salvation], if they wish to accept it.-Ἀθηνῶν, from Athens: Κόρινθον, to Corinth) In the former city, literature and philosophy; in the latter, commerce, most chiefly flourished. Thence the bearing of the one city in relation to the Gospel may be beautifully compared with that of the other. Paul had much greater fruit at Corinth than at Athens.
