Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus. a
worshiper of God. Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household believed
in the Lord: and many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were
baptized. One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “De not be afraid; keep on
speaking. do not be silent. For fam with you and no one is going to attack and ham
you. because I have many people in this city.” So Paul stayed fora year and a half,
teaching them the word of God. (Acts 187-11)

P This is the Word of the Lord.
