Acts 18:4–11

⁴Every Sabbath day he talked with the Jews and Greeks in the synagogue, trying to persuade them to believe in Jesus.

⁵Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia and joined Paul in Corinth. After this, Paul spent all his time telling people the Good News, showing them that Jesus is the Christ. ⁶But they would not accept Paul’s teaching and said some evil things. So he shook off the dust from his clothes ⁿ and said to them, “If you are not saved, it will be your own fault! I have done all I can do! After this, I will go to other nations.” ⁷Paul left the synagogue and moved into the home of Titius Justus, next to the synagogue. This man worshiped God. ⁸Crispus was the leader of that synagogue, and he and all the people living in his house believed in the Lord. Many others in Corinth also listened to Paul and believed and were baptized.

⁹During the night, the Lord told Paul in a vision: “Don’t be afraid. Continue talking to people and don’t be quiet. ¹⁰I am with you, and no one will hurt you because many of my people are in this city.” ¹¹Paul stayed there for a year and a half, teaching God’s word to the people.
