f the Acts of Paul, written in the 2nd century. The
letters relate to the condemnation of certain Gnostic views. For a
translation see Stanley's _Epistles of St Paul to the Corinthians_ (4th
ed., 1876), PP. 593-598. See Harnack, _Geschichte der altchristlichen
Literatur_, i. pp. 37-39, ii. 1, pp. 506-508; Bardenhewer, _Geschichte
der altkirchlichen Literatur_, i. pp. 463-467; Hennecke,
_Neutestamentliche Apokryphen_, pp. 362-364, 378-380.

BIBLIOGRAPHY.--On the Corinthian Epistles consult the _Introduction to
the New Testament_ of H. Holtzmann (1885, 3rd ed. 1892); B. Weiss
(1886, 3rd ed. 1897, Eng. trans. 1887); G. Salmon (1887); A. Julicher
(1894, 5th and 6th ed. 1906, Eng. trans. 1904); T. Zahn (1897-1899,
2nd ed. 1900); and the articles in the Bible dictionaries, especially
those by A. Robertson in Hastings's _Dictionary_. See also _Lives of
Paul_; and the general works on the _Apostolic Age_ of C. von
Weizsacker (1886, 2nd ed. 1892); O. Pfleiderer, _Das Urchristentum_
(1887, 2nd ed. 1902, Eng. trans. 1906); and A. C. M'Giffert (1897).
Especially valuable for 1 and 2 Corinthians is E. von Dobschutz,
_Christian Life in the Primitive Church_ (1902, Eng. trans. 1904).

In English, Dean Stanley's work (1855, 4th ed. 1876) is now out of
date. On First Corinthians reference may be made to the works of T.
Evans in _Speaker's Commentary_ (1881); T. C. Edwards (1885); C. J.
Ellicott (1887); Fr. Godet (1886-1887, Eng. trans. 1887); on both
epistles to those of H. A. W. Meyer (5th ed. 1870, Eng. trans.
1877-1879) and J. J. Lias, in _Cambridge Greek Testament_ (1886-1892).
F. W. Robertson's classic _Sermons on St Paul's Epistles to the
Corinthians_ (1859) should not be neglected. In German there are
commentaries of much value by G. Heinrici (1880--1887) and in
Heinrici's revision of Meyer's _Kommentar_ (8th ed., 1896-1900), and
by P. W. Schmiedel in _Hand-Commentar_ (1891, 2nd ed. 1892). For
further literature see Robertson's art, "Corinthians, First Epistle to
the," in Hastings's _Dictionary of the Bible_. On early attestation
see A. H. Charteris, _Canonicity_ (1880), and the Oxford Committee's
_New Testament in the Apostolic Fathers_ (1905). (J. H. RS.)

[1] Hilgenfeld, Bacon and others hold that this letter is partly
preserved in 2 Cor. vi. 14-vii. 1, but the evidence for removing
those verses from their present position is insufficient.
