(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.

When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself to preaching the word[a] and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah.(A) When they resisted and blasphemed,(B) he shook out his clothes(C) and told them, “Your blood is on your own heads!(D) I am innocent.[b] From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”(E) So he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, along with his whole household.(F) Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.

The Lord said to Paul in a night vision, “Don’t be afraid, but keep on speaking and don’t be silent. 10 For I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to hurt you, because I have many people in this city.”(G) 11 He stayed there a year and a half, teaching the word of God among them.
