¹² When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the ^[a]judgment seat,

²⁷ And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, ^(A)he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

⁵⁰ But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, ^(A)raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.

⁷ who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

^10 (A)As the truth of Christ is in me, ^(B)no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

² for I know your willingness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a ^(A)year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority.

Greeting

1 Paul, ^(A)an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and ^(B)Timothy our brother,

To the church of God which is at Corinth, ^(C)with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

¹⁵ I urge you, brethren—you know ^(A)the household of Stephanas, that it is ^(B)the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to ^(C)the ministry of the saints—

²⁶ For ^(A)it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.

¹⁰ So Paul said, “I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you very well know.
