After these events Paul left ^(C1)Athens and went to ^(C2)Corinth.

And he found a Jew named ^(C1)Aquila, a native of ^(C2)Pontus having recently come from ^(C3)Italy with his wife ^(C1)Priscilla, because ^(C4)Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them,

and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them, and ^(C1)they worked together, for they were tent-makers by trade.

And Paul was reasoning ^(C1)in the synagogue every ^(C2)Sabbath and trying to persuade ^(C3)Jews and Greeks.

But when ^(C1)Silas and Timothy ^(C2)came down from ^(C3)Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, ^(C4)testifying to the Jews that ^(C5)Jesus was the ^(F1)Christ.

But when they resisted and blasphemed, he ^(C1)shook out his garments and said to them, "Your ^(C2)blood is ^(F1)on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go ^(C3)to the Gentiles."

Then he left ^(F1)the synagogue and went to the house of a man named ^(F2)Titius Justus, ^(C1)a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

^(C1)Crispus, ^(C2)the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord ^(C3)together with his entire household; and many of the ^(C4)Corinthians, as they listened to Paul, were believing and being baptized.

And the Lord said to Paul by ^(C1)a vision at night, "Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent;

for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."

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