Synthesized answer
The provided passages present two distinct works that reference the "First Epistle to the Corinthians." One is titled "First Epistle to the Corinthians by Clement I" and also identified as "The First Epistle Of Clement To The Corinthians by Pope Clement I" [1]. The other work, which is extensively detailed, is "The First Epistle to the Corinthians" by Marcus Dods, D.D. [2, 3].
The content presented, including an introduction, chapters on "The Church in Corinth," "The Factions," and other topics, is attributed to Marcus Dods' work on "The First Epistle to the Corinthians" [2]. This work appears to be an exposition or commentary on the epistle [3, 5]. The passages detailing the actual content of the epistle discuss the difficulties Christianity faced in a heathen community and the Apostle Paul's role in presenting the religion of Christ to the Gentile world [5]. The passages do not explain the specific relationship between Clement I's epistle and Marcus Dods' exposition on the same topic, other than them both being titled "First Epistle to the Corinthians" or variations thereof.

ed letters from some of the Christians in Corinth which disclosed a state of matters in the Church far from desirable. He had also more particular accounts from some members of Chloe's household who were visiting Ephesus, and who told him how sadly disturbed the little community of Christians was by party spirit and scandals in life and worship.

We here see the religion of Christ confronted by the culture, and the vices, and the various social arrangements of paganism; we see the ferment and turmoil its introduction occasioned, the changes it wrought in daily life and common customs, the difficulty men honestly experienced in comprehending what their new principles required; we see how the higher aims and views of Christianity sifted the social customs of the ancient world, now allowing and now rejecting;…
