The focus of this article is on how 2 Cor 5:17 may have been read and understood in the context of first century Corinth. It is argued that regardless of the author’s intention, the members of the Corinthian community were likely to understand this verse, and especially the reference to “new creation,” καινὴ κτίσις, as a challenge to the ideology underlying the Roman “new creation” of the ancient Hellenic city, offering an alternative model to the way this ongoing “recreation” of Corinth was being put into practice.
