I am innocent. From now on I will go to the gentiles.”(C) Then he left the synagogue[d] and went to the house of a man named Titius[e] Justus, a worshiper of God; his house was next door to the synagogue.(D) Crispus, the official of the synagogue, became a believer in the Lord, together with all his household, and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul became believers and were baptized.(E) One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent,(F) 10 for I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to harm you, for there are many in this city who are my people.”(G) 11 He stayed there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God.(L) Crispus,(M) the synagogue leader,(N) and his entire household(O) believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision:(P) “Do not be afraid;(Q) keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you,(R) 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.(S)
