In the early church, this term was commonly used to describe Christians, emphasizing their holy calling and distinct identity in Christ. The use of "all" suggests a collective unity among the believers, possibly indicating the broader Christian community beyond Corinth, such as those in Macedonia or Achaia, who were aware of and concerned for the Corinthian church. This reflects the interconnectedness of the early Christian communities, who often supported and encouraged one another through letters and personal visits.<p><b>send you greetings.</b><br>The act of sending greetings was a common practice in ancient letters, serving as a means of expressing fellowship and solidarity. In the context of the early church, such greetings were more than mere formalities; they were expressions of love, unity, and shared faith. This phrase underscores the communal nature of the Christian faith, where believers, regardless of their geographical location, were bound together by their common belief in Christ. It also highlights the importance of communication and relationship-building within the body of Christ, as seen in other epistles where Paul frequently includes greetings from various individuals and groups (e.g., <a href="/romans/16-16.htm">Romans 16:16</a>, <a href="/philippians/4-21.htm">Philippians 4:21-22</a>). This practice reflects the cultural norms of the time, where personal connections and community were highly valued.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a></b><br>The author of 2 Corinthians, Paul is writing to the church in Corinth.
