Kenchreae
Beskrywing
'n Seehawe van Korinte aan die oostelike kant van die landengte (sien KORINTE). Hier, volgens Handelinge [Hand 18:18 ], het Paulus sy hare laat sny voordat hy na Sirië vertrek het, aangesien hy 'n gelofte gemaak het. 'n Plaaslike kerk moes daar deur Paulus gestig gewees het, aangesien Febe, die diakenes van Kenchrea, met die Brief aan die Romeine toevertrou was, en in die hoogste terme deur die apostel aanbeveel is, wat hulle aangesê het om haar te "help in wat ook al sy nodig mag hê" (Romeine [Rom 16:1 -2]).

Cenchrea
millet, the eastern harbour of Corinth, from which it was distant about 9 miles east, and the outlet for its trade with the Asiatic shores of the Mediterranean. When Paul returned from his second missionary journey to Syria, he sailed from this port (Acts 18:18). In (Rom 16:1 ) he speaks as if there were at the time of his writing that epistle an organized church there. The western harbour of Corinth was Lechaeum, about a mile and a half from the city. It was the channel of its trade with Italy and the west.
