Acts 18:5-11
Legacy Standard Bible
5 But when (A)Silas and Timothy (B)came down from (C)Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly (D)bearing witness to the Jews that (E)Jesus is the [a]Christ. 6 But when they resisted and blasphemed, he (F)shook out his garments and said to them, “Your (G)blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go (H)to the Gentiles.” 7 Then he left there and went to the house of a man named [b]Titius Justus, a (I)God-fearer, whose house was next to the synagogue. 8 (J)And Crispus, (K)the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord (L)with all his household, and many of the (M)Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized. 9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night by (N)a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent; 10 for I am with you, and no man will lay a hand on you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city.” 11 And he stayed there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Lexham English Bible
5 Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began to be occupied with[a] the message, solemnly testifying to the Jews that the Christ[b] was Jesus. 6 And when[c] they resisted and reviled him,[d] he shook out his[e] clothes and[f] said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!” 7 And leaving there, he entered into the house of someone named[g] Titius Justus, a worshiper[h] of God whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his whole household. And many of the Corinthians, when they[i] heard about it,[j] believed and were baptized. 9 And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not keep silent, 10 because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because many people are mine in this city.” 11 So he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
