See also:APOLLOS ('AsroXXc i; contracted from See also:Apollonius) , an Alexandrine See also:Jew who after See also:Paul's first visit to See also:Corinth worked there in a similar way (1 See also:Cor. iii. 6). He was with Paul at a later date in See also:Ephesus (1 Cor. xvi. 12). In r Cor. 10-12 we read of four parties in the Corinthian See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church, of which two attached themselves to Paul and Apollos respectively, using their names, though the " See also:division " can hardly have been due to conflicting doctrines. (See PAUL.) From Acts xviii. 24-28 we learn that he spoke and taught with See also:power and success. He may have captivated his hearers by teaching See also:wisdom," as P. W. Schmiedel suggests, in the allegorical See also:style of See also:Philo, and he wds evidently a See also:man of unusual magnetic force. There seems to be some See also:contradiction between Acts xviii. 25 a b and Acts xviii. 25 C, 26 b c; and it has been suggested that these latter passages are subsequent accretions. Since Apollos was a See also:Christian and "taught exactly," he could hardly have been acquainted only with See also:John's See also:baptism or have required to be taught See also:Christianity more thoroughly by See also:Aquila and Priscilla.

Martin See also:Luther regarded Apollos as the author of the See also:Epistle to the See also:Hebrews, and many scholars since have shared his view.
See also:Jerome says that Apollos was so dissatisfied with the division at Corinth, that he retired into See also:Crete with Zenas, a See also:doctor of the See also:law; and that the See also:schism having been healed by Paul's See also:letter to the See also:Corinthians, Apollos returned to the See also:city, and became its See also:bishop. Less probable traditions assign to him the bishopric of Duras, or of See also:Iconium in See also:Phrygia, or of Caesarea.
