STRONGS NT 5514: Χλόη

Χλόη ((i. e. 'tender verdure'; an appellation of Demeter, 'the Verdant')), Χλόης, , Chloe, a Christian woman of Corinth: 1 Corinthians 1:11. (Cf. B. D., under the word.)

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word χλωρός (chlōros), meaning "green" or "verdant."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Χλόη, as it is a proper noun specific to the New Testament context. However, the concept of "green" or "verdant" can be related to Hebrew words such as יֶרֶק (yereq, Strong's 3418), meaning "green" or "vegetation."

Usage: The name Chloe appears in the New Testament as a proper noun, specifically referring to a Christian woman mentioned by the Apostle Paul.

Context: Chloe is mentioned in the New Testament in 1 Corinthians 1:11. She is noted as a prominent figure within the early Christian community in Corinth. The Apostle Paul references Chloe in his first letter to the Corinthians, indicating that members of her household had informed him of divisions within the church at Corinth. This suggests that Chloe was a person of some standing and influence, possibly hosting a house church or being a leader within the Christian community. The passage reads: "My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you" (1 Corinthians 1:11, BSB). Chloe's mention highlights the role of women in the early church and their involvement in the spread of Christianity. Her household's communication with Paul underscores the interconnectedness of early Christian communities and their reliance on personal networks for the dissemination of information and support.
