Acts 18:5-11
English Standard Version
5 (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. 6 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.” 7 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. 8 (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. 9 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.

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]
