Kencrea
Penerangan
Sebuah pelabuhan Corinth di sebelah timur tanah genting (lihat CORINTH). Di sini menurut [Kis 18:18 ], Paulus telah memotong rambutnya sebelum berlayar ke Syria, kerana dia mempunyai nazar. Sebuah gereja tempatan mesti telah didirikan di sana oleh Paulus, kerana Phoebe, diakones Cenchrea, telah dipercayakan dengan Surat kepada Jemaat di Roma, dan dipuji kepada mereka dengan istilah yang paling tinggi oleh rasul, yang mengarahkan mereka untuk "membantu dia dalam apa jua perkara yang 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.
