Acts 18:7-17

7 So he left the place and went to the house of a person called Titius Justus, a worshipper of the true God. His house was next door to the synagogue.

8 And Crispus, the Warden of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, and so did all his household; and from time to time many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and received baptism.

9 And, in a vision by night, the Lord said to Paul, "Dismiss your fears: go on speaking, and do not give up.

10 I am with you, and no one shall attack you to injure you; for I have very many people in this city."

11 So Paul remained in Corinth for a year and six months, teaching among them the Message of God.

12 But when Gallio became Proconsul of Greece, the Jews with one accord made a dead set at Paul, and brought him before the court.

13 "This man," they said, "is inducing people to offer unlawful worship to God."

14 But, when Paul was about to begin his defence, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it had been some wrongful act or piece of cunning knavery I might reasonably have listened to you Jews.

15 But since these are questions about words and names and your Law, you yourselves must see to them. I refuse to be a judge in such matters."

16 So he ordered them out of court.

17 Then the people all set upon Sosthenes, the Warden of the synagogue, and beat him severely in front of the court. Gallio did not concern himself in the least about this.
