And many of the Corinthians, when they^* heard about it,^* believed and were baptized. ⁹And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not keep silent, ¹⁰because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because many people are mine in this city.” ¹¹So he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
