Acts 18:1-11

Paul, Silas, and Timothy in Corinth

1 After these [things] he departed from Athens [and] went to Corinth.

2 And he found a certain Jew {named} Aquila, {a native} of Pontus who had arrived recently from Italy {along with} Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome, [and] he went to them.

3 And because [he] was practicing the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.

4 And he argued in the synagogue every Sabbath, attempting to persuade both Jews and Greeks.

5 Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began to be occupied with the message, solemnly testifying to the Jews [that] the Christ was Jesus.

6 And [when] they resisted and reviled [him], he shook out [his] clothes [and] said to them, "Your blood [be] on your [own] heads! I [am] guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!"

7 And leaving there, he entered into the house of someone {named} Titius Justus, a worshiper of God whose house was next door to the synagogue.

8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his whole household. And many of the Corinthians, [when they] heard about [it], believed and were baptized.

9 And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not keep silent,

10 because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because many people are mine in this city."

11 So he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
