8. and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.
9. And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, `Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent;
10. because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;'
11. and he continued a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
12. And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal,
13. saying--`Against the law this one doth persuade men to worship God;'
