Excerpt from Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians
From these causes, the city of Corinth became eminent among all ancient cities for wealth, and luxury, and dissipation. It was the mart of the world. Wealth flowed into it from all quarters. Luxury, amusement, and dissipation were the natural consequents, until it became the most gay and dissolute city of its times, - the Paris of antiquity.
