The Lord had promised that He would keep Paul safe in Corinth: this was not one of those cities where a short mission, ending in violence against the apostle, would establish a church. God had many people to reach in the city and most would come with religious and cultural baggage (Acts 18:9-11). That was why Paul needed to stay a long time there; to disciple the new believers so that their faith would be securely founded on the death and resurrection of Jesus.
