1After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; 2And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. 3And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 4And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 5And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 6And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7¶ And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 8And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. 9Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: 10For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. 11And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12¶ And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat, 13Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. 14And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: 15But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters. 16And he drave them from the judgment seat. 17Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18¶ And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow. 19And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. 20When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; 21But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus. 22And when he had landed at Cæsarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch. 23And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24¶ And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. 27And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: 28For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
保羅在哥林多傳道
1這事之後，保羅離開雅典前往哥林多， 2在那裡認識了一位在本都出生的猶太人亞居拉。由於克勞狄命令所有的猶太人離開羅馬，他最近和妻子百基拉從義大利來到哥林多。保羅拜訪了他們。 3他們夫婦跟保羅是同行，都以製造帳篷為業，保羅就留下來和他們同住，一起做工。 4保羅每個安息日都到會堂與猶太人和希臘人辯論，勸導他們信主。
5西拉和提摩太從馬其頓來了之後，保羅就把全部時間都用來傳道，向猶太人證明耶穌是基督。 6可是，猶太人反對、毀謗保羅。保羅便抖掉衣服上的灰塵，對他們說：「你們的罪都歸在你們自己頭上，與我無關！從今以後，我要去外族人那裡了。」 7保羅就離開那裡，來到一位敬畏上帝、名叫提多·猶士都的人家裡，他家就在會堂隔壁。 8會堂主管基利司布和他全家都信了主，許多哥林多人聽了道後，也信了主，受了洗。
9一天晚上，主在異象中對保羅說：「不要怕，只管繼續傳講，不要停！ 10因為我與你同在，沒有人能夠傷害你，在這城裡還有許多屬我的子民。」 11保羅就在那裡住了一年半，傳授上帝的道。
12迦流出任亞該亞總督時，猶太人聯合起來攻擊保羅，把他拉上法庭， 13說：「這個人教唆百姓不按律法敬拜上帝。」
14保羅剛要開口，迦流就對猶太人說：「你們這些猶太人！如果這事涉及什麼罪行冤情，我當然會處理。 15但如果只是關於字句、名稱和你們猶太律法的爭論，你們自己去解決吧，我不受理！」 16隨即把他們趕出了法庭。 17到了庭外，眾人揪住會堂主管所提尼，把他痛打一頓。迦流卻置之不理。
保羅回到安提阿
18保羅繼續在哥林多逗留了相當時日，才向弟兄姊妹道別。他和百基拉、亞居拉乘船前往敘利亞。保羅因為許過願，就在堅革哩剃了頭髮。 19到了以弗所，保羅離開亞居拉夫婦，獨自進入會堂跟猶太人辯論。 20眾人請保羅多留幾天，保羅婉言謝絕了。 21他向眾人道別，說：「如果上帝許可，我會回來。」然後上船離開了以弗所。 22他在凱撒利亞登岸後，先上耶路撒冷去問候教會，再下到安提阿。 23他在安提阿逗留了一些日子，然後離開那裡，走遍加拉太和弗呂迦地區，到處堅固門徒的信心。
亞波羅放膽傳道
24那時有一個生於亞歷山大、名叫亞波羅的猶太人來到以弗所。他博學善辯，熟悉聖經。 25他在主的道上曾受過栽培，心裡火熱，能正確地講解和教導有關耶穌的事，但他只知道約翰的洗禮。 26他在會堂裡勇敢地講道。百基拉和亞居拉聽了以後，便請他到家裡，將上帝的道更詳細地告訴他。 27亞波羅有意去亞該亞，以弗所的弟兄姊妹就鼓勵他，並寫信請當地的門徒接待他。亞波羅到了之後，帶給當地蒙恩信主的人很大幫助。 28他在公眾面前有力地駁倒猶太人，引用聖經證明耶穌就是基督。
