Acts 18:5-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ But when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul devoted all his time to teaching God’s word. He assured the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah. ⁶ But they opposed him and insulted him. So Paul shook the dust from his clothes and told them, “You’re responsible for your own death. I’m innocent. From now on I’m going to people who are not Jewish.”

⁷ Then he left the synagogue and went to the home of a man named Titius Justus, who was a convert to Judaism. His house was next door to the synagogue. ⁸ The synagogue leader Crispus and his whole family believed in the Lord. Many Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.

⁹ One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, “Don’t be afraid to speak out! Don’t be silent! ¹⁰ I’m with you. No one will attack you or harm you. I have many people in this city.”

¹¹ Paul lived in Corinth for a year and a half and taught God’s word to them.
