There is no “priest” mentioned in the letter to the church at Corinth.

No, but the offices of episkopos and presbuteros are mentioned in Acts, 1 Timothy and Titus.

“No, but the offices of episkopos and presbuteros are mentioned in Acts, 1 Timothy and Titus.”

Maybe Corinth had a “no priest” zone since Apollos, Peter and Paul all seemed to like to visit there so they were able to do for themselves like the early church did going from house to house.

By the way, as has been pointed out many times on this thread, episkopos and presbuteros are interchangeable with pastors and elders. There really is no difference, but they are not mentioned in Antioch, Rome, Corinth, Galations, Philippi, Colossae.
