Acts 18:5-11
New International Version
5 When Silas(A) and Timothy(B) came from Macedonia,(C) Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.(D) 6 But when they opposed Paul and became abusive,(E) he shook out his clothes in protest(F) and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads!(G) I am innocent of it.(H) From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”(I)
7 Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God.(J) 8 Crispus,(K) the synagogue leader,(L) and his entire household(M) believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.
9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision:(N) “Do not be afraid;(O) keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you,(P) 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.(Q)

Acts 18:5-11
International Standard Version
5 But when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to the word[a] as he emphatically assured the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah.[b] 6 But when they began to oppose him and insult him, he shook out his clothes in protest and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the gentiles.”
7 Then he left that place and went to the home of a man named Titius[c] Justus, who worshipped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8 Now Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, along with his whole family. Many Corinthians who heard Paul also believed and were baptized.
9 One night, the Lord told Paul in a vision, “Stop being afraid to speak out! Don’t remain silent! 10 For I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you or harm you, because I have many people in this city.” 11 So Paul[d] lived there for a year and a half and continued to teach the word of God among the people there.[e]

King James Version
5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
