⁵ Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia [^Cthe northern region of Greece] and joined Paul in Corinth. After this, Paul ·spent all his time telling people the Good News [^Ldevoted himself to (preaching) the word], ·showing [testifying to] the Jews that Jesus is the Christ [Messiah; 17:3]. ⁶ But they ·would not accept Paul’s teaching [^Lopposed/resisted him] and ·said some evil things [or reviled him; or blasphemed; 13:45]. So he shook off the dust from his clothes [^Ca sign of protest and that he was done with them, leaving them to God’s judgment; 13:51] and said to them, “·If you are not saved, it will be your own fault [^LYour blood is on your heads]! ·I have done all I can do [or My conscience is clear; ^LI am innocent/pure]! ·After this [From now on], I will go to ·other nations [the Gentiles].” ⁷ Paul left ·the synagogue [^Lthere] and moved into the home of a man named Titius Justus, next to the synagogue. This man worshiped God [^Ca Gentile “God-fearer,” who worshiped the true God of Israel; 10:2; 13:43; 17:4].
