5. Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia and joined Paul in Corinth. After this, Paul used all his time telling people the Good News. He showed the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
6. But they would not accept Paul’s teaching and said some evil things. So he shook off the dust from his clothes. He said to them, “If you are not saved, it will be your own fault! I have done all I can do! After this, I will go to non-Jewish people!”
7. Paul left the synagogue and moved into the home of Titius Justus. It was next to the synagogue. This man worshiped the true God.
8. Crispus was the leader of that synagogue. He and all the people living in his house believed in the Lord. Many others in Corinth also listened to Paul. They too believed and were baptized.
9. During the night, Paul had a vision. The Lord said to him, “Don’t be afraid! Continue talking to people and don’t be quiet!
10. I am with you. No one will hurt you because many of my people are in this city.”
11. Paul stayed there for a year and a half, teaching God’s word to the people.
12. Gallio became the governor of the country of Southern Greece. At that time, some of the Jews came together against Paul and took him to the court.
