After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he came across a Jew called Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with his wife Priscilla, as Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul accosted them, read more. and as he belonged to the same trade he stayed with them and they all worked together. (They were workers in leather by trade.) Every sabbath he argued in the synagogue, persuading both Jews and Greeks.

Every sabbath he argued in the synagogue, persuading both Jews and Greeks. By the time Silas and Timotheus came south from Macedonia, Paul was engrossed in this preaching of the word, arguing to the Jews that the messiah was Jesus. read more. But as they opposed and abused him, he shook out his garments in protest, saying, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am not responsible! After this I will go to the Gentiles." Then he removed to the house of a devout proselyte called Titus Justus, which adjoined the synagogue.

Then he removed to the house of a devout proselyte called Titus Justus, which adjoined the synagogue. But Crispus the president of the synagogue believed in the Lord, as did all his household, and many of the Corinthians listened, believed, and were baptized.

But Crispus the president of the synagogue believed in the Lord, as did all his household, and many of the Corinthians listened, believed, and were baptized. And the Lord said to Paul in a vision by night, "Have no fear, speak on and never stop, read more. for I am with you, and no one shall attack and injure you; I have many people in this city."

Then all [the Greeks] caught hold of Sosthenes the president of the synagogue and beat him in front of the tribunal; but Gallio took no notice. After waiting on for a number of days Paul said goodbye to the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. (As the latter was under a vow, he had his head shaved at Cenchreae.)

In the synagogue he was very outspoken at first; but when Aquila and Priscilla listened to him, they took him home and explained more accurately to him what the Way of God really meant. As he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers wrote and urged the disciples there to give him a welcome. And on his arrival he proved of great service to those who by God's grace had believed,

As he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers wrote and urged the disciples there to give him a welcome. And on his arrival he proved of great service to those who by God's grace had believed, for he publicly refuted the Jews with might and main, showing from the scriptures that the messiah was Jesus.

Timotheus my fellow-worker salutes you; so do my fellow countrymen Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater.

Timotheus my fellow-worker salutes you; so do my fellow countrymen Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater. I Tertius, who write the letter, salute you in the Lord. read more. Gaius, my host and the host of the church at large salutes you. Erastus the city-treasurer salutes you; so does brother Quartus.

I am thankful now that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one can say you were baptized in my name. read more. (Well, I did baptize the household of Stephanas, but no one else, as far as I remember.)

To ensure this, I am sending you Timotheus, my beloved and trustworthy son in the Lord; he will remind you of those methods in Christ Jesus which I teach everywhere in every church.

In my letter I wrote that you were not to associate with the immoral.

You know when you were pagans, how your impulses led you to dumb idols;

I ask this favour of you, my brothers. The household of Stephanas, you know, was the first to be reaped in Achaia, and they have laid themselves out to serve the saints.

I am glad that Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.

Thanks be to God who has inspired Titus with an interest in you equal to my own; he has indeed responded to my request, but he is off to you by his own choice, so keen is his interest in you. read more. Along with him I am sending that brother whose services to the gospel are praised by all the churches;

I asked Titus to go, and with him I sent our brother. Titus did not make anything out of you, did he? And did not I act in the same spirit as he did? Did I not take the very same steps?

thanking the Father who has qualified us to share the lot of the saints in the Light,

Since then you have been raised with Christ, aim at what is above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God;

But when Timotheus reached me a moment ago, on his return from you, bringing me the good news of your faith and love and of how you always remember me kindly, longing to see me as I long to see you,
