9. One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.
10. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city."
11. So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
12. While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment.
13. "This man," they charged, "is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law."
