Acts 18:7-17

7 And having departed thence, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,

8 and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.

9 And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, `Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent;

10 because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;'

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

12 And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal,

13 saying -- `Against the law this one doth persuade men to worship God;'

14 and Paul being about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, `If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,

15 but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look ye yourselves [to it], for a judge of these things I do not wish to be,'

16 and he drave them from the tribunal;

17 and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating [him] before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring.
