Chloe

Mentioned only once in the NT, it was members of her family from whom Paul heard news of quarrels among different factions in the church in Corinth (1 Cor 1:11. We know nothing about her. Commentators believe that she was either

1) an acquaintance of Paul in Ephesus whose family members travelled to or were residents of Corinth; they had visited Chloe through whom they came into contact with Paul with the news, or

2) a resident of Corinth and a member of the church there, but was rich and influential enough so that Paul could feel confident enough that his mention of her name in the letter would not have impacted negatively her standing in the church.
