Relative to the discussion about Paul's financial support from the Philippians etc. I am working on a theory that in his Corinthians correspondence Paul uses the rhetoric of shame to get the Corinthians to send him some money. The Philippians supported him while he was in Corinth; the Corinthians should support him while he was in Ephesus.

Does anyone know what Philippians and Corinthians thought of each other? How ancient is the Macedonian-Greek conflict??

Thanks, in advance, for any thoughts,

Rick, depends what period you are talking about. Philippi was a Roman colony in the first century, its inscriptions are almost all in Latin, its government modeled on that of Rome.

Read Peter Pilhofer.
