(A)When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul (B)was occupied with the word, (C)testifying to the Jews that the Christ was (D)Jesus. And when they opposed and reviled him, (E)he shook out his garments and said to them, (F)“Your blood be on your own heads! (G)I am innocent. (H)From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius (I)Justus, (J)a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. (K)Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together (L)with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. And the Lord said to Paul (M)one night in (N)a vision, (O)“Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 (P)for I am with you, and (Q)no one will attack you to harm you, for (R)I have many in this city who are my people.” 11 And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Once Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. When they opposed and slandered him, he shook the dust from his clothes in protest and said to them, “You are responsible for your own fates! I’m innocent! From now on I’ll go to the Gentiles!” He left the synagogue and went next door to the home of Titius Justus, a Gentile God-worshipper. Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his entire household came to believe in the Lord. Many Corinthians believed and were baptized after listening to Paul.

One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, “Don’t be afraid. Continue speaking. Don’t be silent. 10 I’m with you and no one who attacks you will harm you, for I have many people in this city.” 11 So he stayed there for eighteen months, teaching God’s word among them.
