The southern portion of Greece under Roman administration. Corinth was its capital and the location of one of Paul's most significant churches.

He wrote to the Corinthians as the church in Achaia and praised the Macedonians' generosity to encourage the Achaians to give (2 Corinthians 9).
Chapters Mentioning Achaia
Acts
The Tent-Making Era and the Corinth Grind
Paul rolls into Corinth, links up with a power couple, and grinds tents by day while preaching by night. God tells him to keep going no cap, a Roman judge literally could not care less about religious drama, and a new character named Apollos enters the chat with elite Bible knowledge.
Acts
Paul's Ephesus Era Was Absolutely Unhinged
Paul rolls into Ephesus and finds believers running on outdated software. God starts doing wild miracles through him, some wannabe exorcists get absolutely cooked by a demon, and the whole city has a massive bonfire of their magic books. No cap, this chapter is unhinged.
