2. Man Paul mentioned in salutation to the Corinthian church (1 Corinthians 1:1 ) as his “brother.” The Corinthians knew this Sosthenes as a Christian and a helper of Paul. From Theodoret until recently, interpreters have thought that there was only one Sosthenes, that the synagogue ruler became a Christian in the dramatic way of Paul, from persecutor of the church to the faith. Opinion today is sharply divided.
