Acts 18:4-11

4And he reasoned and debated in the synagogue every Sabbath, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks;

5but when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia (northern Greece), Paul began devoting himself completely to [preaching] the word, and solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).

6But since the Jews kept resisting and opposing him, and blaspheming [God], he shook out his robe and said to them, “Your blood (damnation) be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

7Then he moved on from there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, who worshiped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue.

8Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his entire household [joyfully acknowledging Him as Messiah and Savior]; and many of the Corinthians who heard [Paul’s message] were believing and being baptized.

9One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, “Do not be afraid anymore, but go on speaking and do not be silent;

10for I am with you, and no one will attack you in order to hurt you, because I have many people in this city.”

11So he settled there for a year and six months, teaching them the word of God [concerning eternal salvation through faith in Christ].
