		Sosthenes was most likely the Sosthenes who had formerly been the ruler of the synagogue in Corinth, became one of the prominent leaders in the newly founded church, and was therefore beaten by the Jews in front of the court of Gallio (cf.
		Since Sosthenes was a recognized leader in the church in Corinth, it was altogether fitting and proper for Paul to include him in the greeting.
		Sosthenes was giving his support to Paul's manner of handling the problems within the church, which was sadly divided and where Paul's pastoral ministry was being questioned and attacked.

		Paul uses the first person singular throughout the letter implying that he is its real author; the nature of Sosthenes' ancillary contribution is impossible to reconstruct.
		This Sosthenes may be the man from Corinth mentioned in Acts 18:17, who is said to be the synagogue ruler, presumably appointed as the successor to Crispus (In Acts 18:8, Crispus is said to be the synagogue ruler [see 1 Cor 1:14]).
		If so, then Sosthenes must have become a believer after the incident described in Acts 18:17, whereupon he left Corinth and traveled to where Paul was when he wrote 1 Corinthians.

	Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible \| Christian Classics Ethereal Library
		Associated by Paul with himself in the inscription, either in modesty, Sosthenes being his inferior [Chrysostom], or in order that the name of a "brother" of note in Corinth (Ac 18:17) might give weight to his Epistle and might show, in opposition to his detractors that he was supported by leading brethren.
		Saul the persecutor turned into Paul the apostle, and Sosthenes the leader in persecution against that apostle, were two trophies of divine grace that, side by side, would appeal with double power to the Church at Corinth [Birks].
		I of Cephas—probably Judaizers, who sheltered themselves under the name of Peter, the apostle of the circumcision ("Cephas" is the Hebrew, "Peter" the Greek name; Joh 1:42; Ga 2:11, andc.): the subjects handled in the seventh through ninth chapters were probably suggested as matters of doubt by them.

		In the eyes of the proconsul, the only law universally applicable was that of the Roman code and social morality: under neither was the prisoner chargeable; therefore, without even waiting to hear Paul's speech in his own defense, he summarily ordered his lictors to clear the court.
		Even the subsequent treatment meted out to Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, was to him a matter of indifference.
		The beating of Sosthenes is ascribed by different readings to "Jews" and to "Greeks," but the incident is referred to by the writer of Acts to show that the sympathies of the populace lay with Paul, and that Gallio made no attempt to suppress them.

		Was the Sosthenes of Acts a Christian or one of the Jews that were opposing the Christians?
		If Sosthenes was indeed one of the Seventy, conceivably his primary role with regard to 1 Corinthians was to provide a sense of direct anchorage in the life and teachings of Jesus and so to forfend any attempt to pit the teachings of Paul against those of Jesus (cf.
		Perhaps, especially if Paul is transitioning to the next passage about divisions and factions; however, the rhetorical structure of the passage (see chart) suggests that Paul is still talking about headship.
