5Then Silas and Timothy arrived there from Macedonia province. After they arrived, Paul did not make tents anymore. He used all his time preaching the message about Jesus in the Jewish meeting place. He continued to tell the Jews that the Messiah they had been waiting for was Jesus.
6But the Jews began to oppose Paul and to say evil things about him. So he shook the dust from his clothes to show them that they were displeasing God. Then he said to them, “If God punishes you, it will be your SYN own fault MTY, not mine! From now on I will go and preach to non-Jewish people!”
7So Paul left the Jewish meeting place and went into a house that was next to it, and preached there. Titius Justus, the owner of the house, was a non-Jewish man who had accepted what the Jews believe.
8After that, the ruler of the Jewish meeting place, whose name was Crispus, and all of his family MTY believed in the Lord Jesus. Many other people in Corinth who listened to Paul also believed in Jesus. Then they were baptized. But there were people who still opposed Paul and his preaching.
9One night Paul had a vision in which the Lord Jesus said to him, “Do not be afraid of those who oppose you. Instead, you should continue speaking to people about me. Do not stop,
10because I will help you, and no one will be able to harm you (sg) here. Keep telling people about me, because there are many in this city who will believe in me.”
11So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching people the message from God about Jesus.
12When Gallio was the Roman governor of Achaia province, the Jewish leaders SYN there got together and seized Paul. They took him before Gallio and accused him,
13saying, “This man is teaching people a false religion, leading them to worship God in ways that are contrary to our Jewish laws.”
14When Paul was about to speak MTY to defend himself, Gallio said to the Jews, “If this man had acted deceitfully or disobeyed any of our Roman laws, I would listen patiently to what you Jews want to tell me.
