Paul in Corinth

18 After these events Paul left ^(A)Athens and went to ^(B)Corinth. ² And he found a Jew named ^(C)Aquila, a native of ^(D)Pontus having recently come from ^(E)Italy with his wife ^(F)Priscilla, because ^(G)Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them, ³ and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them, and ^(H)they worked together, for they were tent-makers by trade. ⁴ And Paul was reasoning ^(I)in the synagogue every ^(J)Sabbath and trying to persuade ^(K)Jews and Greeks.

¹¹ And he settled there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

¹⁸ Now Paul, when he had remained many days longer, ^(A)took leave of ^(B)the brothers and sisters and sailed away to ^(C)Syria, and ^(D)Priscilla and ^(E)Aquila were with him. ^[a]Paul first ^(F)had his hair cut at ^(G)Cenchrea, for he was keeping a vow.

²⁴ Now a Jew named ^(A)Apollos, an ^(B)Alexandrian by birth, ^[a]an eloquent man, came to ^(C)Ephesus; and he was proficient in the Scriptures. ²⁵ This man had been instructed in ^(D)the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was accurately speaking and teaching things about Jesus, being acquainted only with ^(E)the baptism of John; ²⁶ and ^[b]he began speaking boldly in the synagogue. But when ^(F)Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained ^(G)the way of God more accurately to him. ²⁷ And when he wanted to go across to ^(H)Achaia, ^(I)the brothers encouraged him and wrote to ^(J)the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly ^[c]helped those who had believed through grace, ²⁸ for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating ^(K)by the Scriptures that ^(L)Jesus was the ^[d]Christ.
