Kencrea
Deskripsi
Sebuah pelabuhan di Korintus di sisi timur tanah genting (lihat KORINTUS). Di sini menurut Kisah Para Rasul 18:18 , Paulus mencukur rambutnya sebelum berlayar ke Siria, karena ia memiliki nazar. Sebuah gereja lokal pasti telah didirikan di sana oleh Paulus, karena Febe, diakones dari Kengkrea, dipercayakan dengan Surat kepada Jemaat di Roma, dan dipuji kepada mereka dengan istilah yang paling tinggi oleh rasul, yang meminta mereka untuk "membantu dia dalam segala hal yang mungkin dia perlukan" [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.
