Coriander       Heb. gad, (Ex. 16:31; Num. 11:7), seed to which the manna is       likened in its form and colour. It is the Coriandrum sativum of       botanists, an umbelliferous annual plant with a round stalk,       about two feet high. It is widely cultivated in Eastern       countries and in the south of Europe for the sake of its seeds,       which are in the form of a little ball of the size of a       peppercorn. They are used medicinally and as a spice. The Greek       name of this plant is korion or koriannon, whence the name       "coriander."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Corinth       a Grecian city, on the isthmus which joins the Peloponnesus to       the mainland of Greece. It is about 48 miles west of Athens. The       ancient city was destroyed by the Romans (B.C. 146), and that       mentioned in the New Testament was quite a new city, having been       rebuilt about a century afterwards and peopled by a colony of       freedmen from Rome. It became under the Romans the seat of       government for Southern Greece or Achaia (Acts 18:12-16). It was       noted for its wealth, and for the luxurious and immoral and       vicious habits of the people. It had a large mixed population of       Romans, Greeks, and Jews. When Paul first visited the city (A.D.       51 or 52), Gallio, the brother of Seneca, was proconsul. Here       Paul resided for eighteen months (18:1-18). Here he first became       aquainted with Aquila and Priscilla, and soon after his       departure Apollos came to it from Ephesus. After an interval he       visited it a second time, and remained for three months (20:3).       During this second visit his Epistle to the Romans was written       (probably A.D. 55). Although there were many Jewish converts at       Corinth, yet the Gentile element prevailed in the church there.                Some have argued from 2 Cor. 12:14; 13:1, that Paul visited       Corinth a third time (i.e., that on some unrecorded occasion he       visited the city between what are usually called the first and       second visits). But the passages referred to only indicate       Paul's intention to visit Corinth (comp. 1 Cor. 16:5, where the       Greek present tense denotes an intention), an intention which       was in some way frustrated. We can hardly suppose that such a       visit could have been made by the apostle without more distinct       reference to it.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Corinthians, First Epistle to the       was written from Ephesus (1 Cor. 16:8) about the time of the       Passover in the third year of the apostle's sojourn there (Acts       19:10; 20:31), and when he had formed the purpose to visit       Macedonia, and then return to Corinth (probably A.D. 57).                The news which had reached him, however, from Corinth       frustrated his plan. He had heard of the abuses and contentions       that had arisen among them, first from Apollos (Acts 19:1), and       then from a letter they had written him on the subject, and also       from some of the "household of Chloe," and from Stephanas and       his two friends who had visited him (1 Cor. 1:11; 16:17). Paul       thereupon wrote this letter, for the purpose of checking the       factious spirit and correcting the erroneous opinions that had       sprung up among them, and remedying the many abuses and       disorderly practices that prevailed. Titus and a brother whose       name is not given were probably the bearers of the letter (2       Cor. 2:13; 8:6, 16-18).                The epistle may be divided into four parts:                (1.) The apostle deals with the subject of the lamentable       divisions and party strifes that had arisen among them (1 Cor.       1-4).                (2.) He next treats of certain cases of immorality that had       become notorious among them. They had apparently set at nought       the very first principles of morality (5; 6).                (3.) In the third part he discusses various questions of       doctrine and of Christian ethics in reply to certain       communications they had made to him. He especially rectifies       certain flagrant abuses regarding the celebration of the Lord's       supper (7-14).                (4.) The concluding part (15; 16) contains an elaborate       defense of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, which       had been called in question by some among them, followed by some       general instructions, intimations, and greetings.                This epistle "shows the powerful self-control of the apostle       in spite of his physical weakness, his distressed circumstances,       his incessant troubles, and his emotional nature. It was       written, he tells us, in bitter anguish, 'out of much affliction       and pressure of heart...and with streaming eyes' (2 Cor. 2:4);       yet he restrained the expression of his feelings, and wrote with       a dignity and holy calm which he thought most calculated to win       back his erring children. It gives a vivid picture of the early       church...It entirely dissipates the dream that the apostolic       church was in an exceptional condition of holiness of life or       purity of doctrine." The apostle in this epistle unfolds and       applies great principles fitted to guide the church of all ages       in dealing with the same and kindred evils in whatever form they       may appear.                This is one of the epistles the authenticity of which has       never been called in question by critics of any school, so many       and so conclusive are the evidences of its Pauline origin.                The subscription to this epistle states erroneously in the       Authorized Version that it was written at Philippi. This error       arose from a mistranslation of 1 Cor. 16:5, "For I do pass       through Macedonia," which was interpreted as meaning, "I am       passing through Macedonia." In 16:8 he declares his intention of       remaining some time longer in Ephesus. After that, his purpose       is to "pass through Macedonia."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Corinthians, Second Epistle to the       Shortly after writing his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul       left Ephesus, where intense excitement had been aroused against       him, the evidence of his great success, and proceeded to       Macedonia. Pursuing the usual route, he reached Troas, the port       of departure for Europe. Here he expected to meet with Titus,       whom he had sent from Ephesus to Corinth, with tidings of the       effects produced on the church there by the first epistle; but       was disappointed (1 Cor. 16:9; 2 Cor. 1:8; 2:12, 13). He then       left Troas and proceeded to Macedonia; and at Philippi, where he       tarried, he was soon joined by Titus (2 Cor. 7:6, 7), who       brought him good news from Corinth, and also by Timothy. Under       the influence of the feelings awakened in his mind by the       favourable report which Titus brought back from Corinth, this       second epistle was written. It was probably written at Philippi,       or, as some think, Thessalonica, early in the year A.D. 58, and       was sent to Corinth by Titus. This letter he addresses not only       to the church in Corinth, but also to the saints in all Achaia,       i.e., in Athens, Cenchrea, and other cities in Greece.                The contents of this epistle may be thus arranged:                (1.) Paul speaks of his spiritual labours and course of life,       and expresses his warm affection toward the Corinthians (2 Cor.       1-7).                (2.) He gives specific directions regarding the collection       that was to be made for their poor brethren in Judea (8; 9).                (3.) He defends his own apostolic claim (10-13), and justifies       himself from the charges and insinuations of the false teacher       and his adherents.                This epistle, it has been well said, shows the individuallity       of the apostle more than any other. "Human weakness, spiritual       strength, the deepest tenderness of affection, wounded feeling,       sternness, irony, rebuke, impassioned self-vindication,       humility, a just self-respect, zeal for the welfare of the weak       and suffering, as well as for the progress of the church of       Christ and for the spiritual advancement of its members, are all       displayed in turn in the course of his appeal."--Lias, Second       Corinthians.                Of the effects produced on the Corinthian church by this       epistle we have no definite information. We know that Paul       visited Corinth after he had written it (Acts 20:2, 3), and that       on that occasion he tarried there for three months. In his       letter to Rome, written at this time, he sent salutations from       some of the principal members of the church to the Romans.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cornet       Heb. shophar, "brightness," with reference to the clearness of       its sound (1 Chr. 15:28; 2 Chr. 15:14; Ps. 98:6; Hos. 5:8). It       is usually rendered in the Authorized Version "trumpet." It       denotes the long and straight horn, about eighteen inches long.       The words of Joel, "Blow the trumpet," literally, "Sound the       cornet," refer to the festival which was the preparation for the       day of Atonement. In Dan. 3:5, 7, 10, 15, the word (keren) so       rendered is a curved horn. The word "cornet" in 2 Sam. 6:5 (Heb.       mena'an'im, occurring only here) was some kind of instrument       played by being shaken like the Egyptian sistrum, consisting of       rings or bells hung loosely on iron rods.
