Corinthians

Corinthians most commonly refers to two distinct subjects in English-language contexts: biblical writings and a Brazilian football club. In the New Testament, Corinthians designates the two letters attributed to Paul the Apostle addressed to the Christian community in Corinth, known as first and second Corinthians. The epistles address church organization, ethical conduct, theology, and disputes within the community, and they discuss topics such as unity in the body of Christ, love, resurrection, and spiritual gifts. Most scholars date the letters to the mid-1st century CE, with composition traditionally placed around 53–57 CE. In Catholic and Protestant canons, they are part of the Pauline epistles.

The Corinthians most often refers to Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, commonly known as Corinthians or Timão,
