5. And when Silas and Timothy had arrived from Macedonia, Paul stood firm in the Word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
6. But since they were contradicting him and blaspheming, he shook out his garments and said to them: "Your blood is on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles."
7. And moving from that place, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus the Just, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoined to the synagogue.
8. Now Crispus, a leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with his entire house. And many of the Corinthians, upon hearing, believed and were baptized.
9. Then the Lord said to Paul, through a vision in the night: "Do not be afraid. Instead, speak out and do not be silent.
10. For I am with you. And no one will take hold of you, so as to do you harm. For many of the people in this city are with me."
11. Then he settled there for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.
12. But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul. And they brought him to the tribunal,
13. saying, "He persuades men to worship God contrary to the law."
14. Then, when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: "If this were some matter of injustice, or a wicked deed, O noble Jews, I would support you, as is proper.
15. Yet if truly these are questions about a word and names and your law, you should see to it yourselves. I will not be the judge of such things."
