Commentators note that Paul's 18-month stay in Corinth was unusually long for him. This extended period was a direct response to God's promise of a great harvest in the city (Acts 18:10). It demonstrates that effective ministry sometimes requires patient, long-term investment in one place, especially when God signals a fruitful opportunity.
