⁹ During the night Paul had a vision^(A) of a man of Macedonia^(B) standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” ¹⁰ After Paul had seen the vision, we^(C) got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel^(D) to them.

¹⁰ For I am with you,^(A) and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” ¹¹ So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.^(B)

¹¹ The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage!^(A) As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”^(B)

²³ Last night an angel^(A) of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve^(B) stood beside me^{(C) 24} and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar;^(D) and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’^{(E) 25} So keep up your courage,^(F) men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.^(G)
